If anybody's interested, please send me a PM.

Working unfortunately .....

I suspect most people are working (except maybe the christian school teachers).
Are there not enough farang teachers at this school, or have they all refused to go?
The school should sack the lot of em.

Be warned, there might be a seminar for all EP teachers on those days...

I will tell more when I know more, it might be crucial for the teachers with degrees in any field apart from Education!!!

It's a Christian school - should celebrate the birth of Christ ..... hence a holiday.

...... and how many teachers in Nakon have degrees in Education then?

"It's a Christian school - should celebrate the birth of Christ ..... hence a holiday."
oh, and so you'll be going to the christian church here will you?
and of course, you will be working through all the buddhist holidays then?


looks like another 3 day "course" that is a complete waste of time AND money........... just like the culture course!

this whole thing sounds more like someones bullshit thesis for their degree......... probably been copied off the internet.

Sounds like a load of fun ...... NOT!

Another course to prove we're improving! Yay for that!
I haven't heard about this but it's always fun to find these things out at the last minute.
