| Because most
employers who are Thai do not have the resources to seperate facts from
fiction and in the end it is the children who are shortchanged when they
are given defunct ESL instructors.
Recently
there has been an explosion of recruiting agencies popping up all over
Bangkok that are netting as many farangs as possible and throwing them
in every which direction to collect a quick comission. Even more disturbing
is that the bar has been lowered and now native speakers of English are
not the sought after.
Some very
dodgy companies have even introduced English teachers from countries
such as Iran, and the Phillipines most of them being the last resort for
companies to fill these vacancies and make a quick buck, as with everything
else in Thailand money overtakes all other priorities and someone has to
lose, in this instance it is the Thai children that will be taking the
heaviest loss.
Can you
really afford to put a price on your child's education? Education unlike
a construction project should not be decided by the lowest bidder. |
