    Woe for those foreign teachers who are assigned in some bilingual schools in Bangkok. They are being paid per hour. I wonder how they do for a living in this kind of situation. I hope the BMA-Education will do something about it.

    Glad I don't teach in Thailand any more.

    I'm guessing Thailand will lose a lot of foreign teachers because of this too. They'll have no interest in working 6 or 7 days a week for the entire semester, particularly as many of them didn't receive payment from their schools when they were closed because of flooding.

    Smart, Make the kids go to school 7 days a week because of a flood that was started by man. Maybe the people that run the goverment should go to school 7 days a week too. Then maybe they can learn to do their jobs correctly.
