aknj: Extra cllasses for kids
I recalled attending tutoring classes in the evening almost everyday after long hours at school. I also attended summer school every years for preparation for the next school years. It must have done me some good because I got to attend Triam Udom Suksa, the best high school in Thailand (back then, at least). I later came to the USA where I eventually got my Ph.D. and became a scientist. If it's not for those rigorous learning/training I had when I was young, I doubt if I would be where I am today.

Allan Ford : Your usual excellent standard Richard
I have noticed that the teenage school children on the MRT are more commonly overweight each time I wisit Thailand. Also last time I was there I saw my first skateboarder in a car park.
Both these observations made me feel sad.I wish the powers that be would wise up to these trends that will do no good for Thai culture.

Norb : Wonderful sotry
hanks for sharing a great story. My wife and I would go back to Thailand in a heartbeat if I wasn't in a wheelchair with an disease that started in Thailand in 2001. Our job in the US Peace Corps was to assist the Thai government with introducing student centered teaching. We were practice teaching 4th and 5th graders in a village school and know what that is like. To set up team teaching with a Thai teacher I actually needed an interpreter. She totally ignored everthing, just stood in the back and coached her students. :(
