Boo Radley Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wow. Bad story. Just showing off to his friends I guess. He also seems to say at one point, "It just goes in one ear and out the other." Most of the comments I saw on Youtube etc from Thais condemned the behaviour of the student in very strong terms and language. The article from Mthai news says that apparently the school was in Chonburi province (although they don't name it) and when the school found out the student was punished by being made to GRAHP (prostrate himself) in front of the teacher and apologise. As a kid, one school I went to had similar ill-discipline eg chairs thrown around classrooms by students etc. Unsurprisingly not much got learnt there. Another school was much stricter. The teachers ruled by fear and embarrassed you if you stepped out of line. Still, wouldn't like to be a teacher with unruly kids to deal with. http://news.mthai.co...ews/369981.html PS Here's his apology video he was made to post up by the school. Apparently the incident actually took place in 2011, but the video only surfaced in the Thai press and became news 2 years later in Aug 2013 and in the English press only just recently. Maybe it's just me, but he doesn't come across as particularly contrite in the video, occasionally smirking etc. http://news.tlcthai....ips/176062.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I swear (but not in a profane way) that my step son has not lived in Thailand since October 2008 and had not sworn at any thai teachers in the last 6 years(but has let loose with 30 minute swearing sessions directed toward U.S. teachers in the Kansas City area).
