| I can't see it being so hard, Nawty.
For one, you could do a background check on your computer in an hour. That's something I doubt many Thai administrators ever bother with.
I don't know how far from town you are but you could provide housing for the teacher if it was too far to be commuter pragmatic. He/she could have a space there at the schoolhouse. His housing would be calculated into his salary.
As you say the teacher could take the kids on nature tours and do science studies, experiments and observations in the woods. Even take them to town and do kid's stuff with other local town folk children. And, as you say, other kids could go to your school for visits and special projects.
I'm sure there are many good teachers in BKK who'd commit to a year of breathable air. My guess is finding an old person without drinking and whoring habits. Kids very often love grandfathers types.
Living in the country, as you know, isn't for everybody. But no doubt there are a portion of Thai-based western school teachers who'd jump at the idea. Why not post a free ad on a teacher's website stating your tentative plan just to see what comes up? |
