Respecting your boss!

A boss should be a person that has experience in the profession that they are managing, don't you think? Being told by a person that has had about 1/10 less contact teaching hours than you how to teach is a joke!!
  Then getting a new memeber of staff that has been teaching 3 months to help manage the programme is even more of a joke....... Experienced teachers getting told how to teach by a person that has just started teaching and has less than 3 months classroom experience :)
   This is just the way things work at this school........... your voice or experience counts for NOTHING!!

Meetings.............

How many meetings do you need a week? How long should the average meeting be? Should meetings be over 90 minutes long?

Good points!!

99% of the staff at the school are excellent, they are always willing to help and understand the problems that foreign staff go through when first arriving in Thung Song. It is a shame that the boss and the Mole that wears glasses ruin everything :)

Does the place really want foreign teachers??

Is this a question i asked myself during my time there? If you start to realise that the Thai don't really link you for 1 main reason = You make 3 to 5 times more than them = but it is the contract that we were offered and signed, but still our contracts were passed around the staffroom which created loads of unwanted gossip.
   Management gossip with Thai staff (laugh and joke as well) about how the foreign staff just cause problems and trouble and aren't worth their salary. Is this the type of management you really want to work for?

Will add more later.

The Mole that wears glasses.

Just be careful with the mole that wears glasses, she isn't a teacher but works at ILC. Again she is someone that is nice to your face then stabs you in the back as soon as you turn around. As most people say "It starts at the top" so lack of manners and management skills she is only following her bosses example.

Bonus payment.

Would you really want to wait up to 6 months to recieve your end of year bonus payment that you worked so hard to get? Remember they are a business and they don't like paying the cash at the end of the day.

Tantiwat school ThungSong, Nakhon Si Thammarat. Thailand.: Deleted

http://tantiwatraschool.blogspot.com/2010/05/introduction.html

Another blog?? I heard that the teacher was sacked and then re-hired if he deleted all the old posts on his blog. As you can see there aren't any remaining posts and they have all been deleted, threats and bullying tactics again.....

Lesson plans.

For anyone that has taught before you understand the importance of a lesson plan, however at this school they deem lesson plans to be the most important part of being a teacher.
   She (the boss) likes to focus on lessons and expect do be doing between 12 - 18 page lesson plans for 5 hours of teaching.
   Happy planning.
