Yeah the things I hear about what teachers can't do these days from my coworkers who have kids are just crazy.
Philippines use to slap hands and bums when you were naughty. It didn't hurt, but it was a message I received clearly! __________________

Some little boys (a lot of them) have SO much energy! It's hard to tame them to sit quietly in school all day - goes against their nature.
Yes, there are so many rules now. They used to keep big wooden paddles in the front of the class rooms - I don't think the teachers hit anyone with them, but the threat of them was there! Your new situation sounds great Ekua - it is hard to tell people what to do, but it's another skill I suppose to learn. __________________

Yup It’s difficult to explain to Thai parents though...I have some asking if their son/daughter can write their name when they can’t even grip a pencil properly yet!!

I wonder if the teachers know they are famous or don't even know them?
