This is where thailand future criminals all came from, every year students graduate school with a gun in their hands not a diploma. Thailand education system cannot produce the kind of workers current industries need except crime industries. The funny thing is that none of these students criminal were ever caught, the police need them for their future job protection. No criminal no police. How and where did these students get their guns and bullets from? This bleeding a culture of hatred and its no wonder thailand political landscape is violent, closing schools does not eradicate the problems only to deprive others students their study time. Whats need to be done is make arrest and serve out capital punishment for all to see, school violence in my country are dealt swiftly and punishment are really harsh, if death sentence is required the government will not hasitate to make an example. Thailand need to clean up its education system and schools.

One have to admit the some parents doesn't have any control of their children and does not interact in their daily activities. I'm observing it daily; at internetlounges and around motorcycle tune-up shops. It is hopefully not through these places that the future of the majority of Thai youngsters is made..

> Seems like a reasonable request under the circumstances. Something drastic has to be done and closing each vocational school inoled for one year might send the message.

Catch them and lock them up, no matter what age they are.
Start holding parents responsible too.
