Teaching

My school is not the strongest academically; we're not the most organized or the most established. Things don't work line clockwork here-- chaos and frustration sometimes spice our days. That said, the students are marvelous! What are the the "creme de la creme" of academia? Heavens no, far from it in fact! Rather there is a bond between students and teachers and between the students that I have seen at only few schools. We are a unit; we are "in it together."


Thailand has a traditional "teacher respecting" day (Called "Wai Kru" in Thai). It's a formal ceremony of some traditional chants and speeches about respecting and honoring teachers. Our students had the main role in organizing our school's first formal version of the ceremony this year. After the formal speeche3s and presentations of flower arrangements, the seniors sought out the teachers of their subjects and did some special more private presentations. Pictured here are one of the group shots and one shot of the seniors presenting garlands to their Social Studies teacher.
