Couldn't agree more! I wish my teachers were more like you. It gets to a point where i feel too pressured to work and no make mistakes now a days.

@ThoseTwoBros definitely, same experience for me as a student

we require a reform in the education where fear and getting a good grade are not the starting point, where we no longer force students to work and tell them what to do just so they can get a job and make money

:) this is great! - THANKS!!!

... "you not angry (...) when we make a mistake", "you give freedom", "nowadays I feel brave to speak", "you make me like english more", "I will take your knowledge for my life", ... great description of what education is supposed to do!.

... is good to know you are a teacher ;)

@nataloctopus yes but i am still limited to the system, and the abuse has become such a standard norm/way of going about things, it is like the very foundation of the system - and so teachers will tend to become this way without even seeing it/realizing it - the limitation and mind control is really extensive, so extensive that the teachers forget that they too were the abused children at one point in time

[nataloctopus]

@adriandrum I think this is a main problem, and not just in education, that we tend to see and define children from an adult perspective, like 'looking down' to the kids, but we forget that we were/are children too (a 'looking up' perspective). That I can define what a son is not just by looking me as a parent but also by looking me as a son myself. This totally changes the conclusion. Regarding the system: the awakening is just starting (=great!) --> "slowly but surely" + "united we stand"

[adriandrum]

@nataloctopus yes, and strict policy must be set forth to ensure that only those who would treat their students as equals should even be considered for a teaching position - this should be a fundamental criteria - i see so many adults teaching kids who - when looking at what nasty people they are on a personal level - have NO right working with children - they are doing serious damage

I am sure you are use to the ubiquitous “hello how are you” and that would be the end of the conversation Hahahaha

good-luck with your endeavors

Interesting adriandrum, however I doubt the Thailand education dept would think to highly of you if you stray to far from their syllabus. I to thought that way, trying to get my students to be free thinkers until I got jumped on from a great height. It is just a word of caution mate...ok

That must be a quite a good school as the English is pretty darn good for Thai students, the students I taught could hardly string a few words together.

@GabrielZamoraMoreno well i mean it took me time to start to really get it and apply myself more effectively - not just turning it into a point of morality and trying to be 'good' and 'nice' to counter all the nasty shit - because the nasty shit is the real shit and is what has become the commonplace norm that is almost expected of you, and you will become/copy it without even seeing and realizing it
