It's easy to see why some folks don't care much for teachers, be they drunk, drinking, stone sober, or just ordinarily bigoted. I don't like them that much either. Visit this site as an example:
A to Z Teacher Stuff For Teachers FREE online lesson plans, lesson plan ideas and activities, thematic units, printables, themes, teaching tips, articles, and educational resources. Too straight, too Christian, too boring.
What makes the teacher in Thailand somewhat more digestible to me is that he's usually not a teacher back home, at least for some time, he's a traveler or an expat and some of them like Thai people and Thai kids and like helping out .. as an option to living on an overpopulated island of chavs or in Bush country.
Apart from the Thai birds, who never really caught more than my eye, living here for many blokes is not the paradise the Thai government want us to believe.
