BD, you can find more information about teaching in Thailand at the Bangkok Post's website. You want to click on the link for the 'commentary' section. It's pretty good stuff.
In the September 15 edition, there's a letter from a white-face teacher (not me) at a Thai high school somewhere who told it like he sees it. His letter is no surprise. He describes what it's like to teach in Thailand EXACTLY. Nope, nothing new there.
Check that section for other bits as well, including opinions of the Thai teachers posing as English teachers. Teachers whose English profiency may rank
way up there with second-graders back in the USA.
You wanna go to South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, or Hong Kong, BD.
Don't come to Thailand, man. I'm tellin' ya. When I get out of here I'm never coming back unless I'm coming to lay on the beach and/or scuba dive for a week. Never again will I teach here.
