^^ I don't see why, Smeg has always had a very valid point when he discusses illegals. It's when he hammers on about those who work here legally that he starts to get boring

He surely will..
Giving him right on one point does however not change my opinion that he is one of the most unpleasant persons I've ever encountered.

Can't see why some of you lot are bothered whether a teacher here has a degree or not or is working illegaly - are you all a bunch of saints or something?

dirtydog · 17-01-2007, 02:54 PM

I doubt if most people care about teachers working illegally, but some may find it amusing that they are being arrested for using fake degrees

Fake degrees that their school asked them to get and made them pay for

Lets have a theoretical look at this, lets say you are working as a teacher with out any paper work, you get caught, 20k baht fine and kicked out of the country for a day, ie return flight to your home country and back, generally though if you get caught you can pay the bribe and carry on working without it going to court.

Now lets say you have a fake degree and a work permit, you straight away have committed fraud with the labour dept when you obtained your work permit, your work permit is invalidated, so the charges against you are fraud and working without a work permit, you could also be charged probably with aiding and abetting forgery, not looking so good is it

A few months ago one of the teachers, who's working illegally, was picked from NSIS. The police never brought up school's name (rumour has it that school had some under the table deal with the piggies).

One of our members, who works at NSIS, might be able to give further details.

nope - but it is funny when they get caught.

Shustraya · 17-01-2007, 03:27 PM
