Is this book really just written by the ajarns over at you know where?

[DJ Pat]

Ok so I am no teacher, I mean look at my socks that I had to wear as I had run out of black ones....

And look at the Uni gals I been reduced to chasing:



But at least I don't feature in this expose on the Thailand teaching scene:



Anyone stood in Asia Books / Bookazine / Kinokuniya / B2S browsing it?

Or God forbid actually bought a copy? What did you reckon? Close to the truth or near the knuckle?

[kingwilly]

not read it mate, can u copy any of it here?

[Boon Mee]

^^
Sorta resembles raycarey, eh?

[DJ Pat]

Of course I can't copy any of it to here.

[phunphin]

teacher should have a boner!.

[DJ Pat]

He probably did have a boner but wasn't very well hung, or his gut hungover the todger.

[slimboyfat]

i think the book to the left of it was possibly about a TEFLer as well

I reckon at some point he considered a " doing a bit of teaching" before the business deal with the Dutch bodyguards went tits up.

[MagicLeaves]

i've skimmed through it - so what's actually wrong with that kind of lifestyle - sounds like a laugh to me!

[mrsquirrel]

Buy it or steal it you must get a copy of that book

[baldrick]

[shehiredahitman]

That cannot be real.

[Thetyim]

That cannot be real.

Yes it is.

"Dark comedy and a sometimes brutally realistic portrayal of the kinds of dubious characters who infest school staff rooms across Thailand, make this book essential reading for anyone who has ever taught English in Asia, and those who want to know why they do it!"

[stroller]

Hehe, I am in negotiation with a couple of local schools to grace them with my expertise.

[DunceCap]

You are not Matthew, are you?

[babygirl]

Looks like a funny read. I Will have to pick it up!

It was probably too politically incorrect to put the teacher with a boner!

[DJ Pat]

A must read for non-ajarns..

[babygirl]

why for non-ajarns only?

[DJ Pat]

Well there aren't any ajarns here at Teak Door.

[dirtydog]

Aren't any proffessors on ajarn either

[DJ Pat]

That's a pretty black and white comment there, DD.

[kingwilly]

prolly not far from the truth but!

[Hootad Binky]

Well there aren't any ajarns here at Teak Door.

The constant, negative stereotyping of teachers on this thread as well as the total, disparaging ignorance of the many qualified and professional teachers that do work in Thailand, attests to this.

[kingwilly]

^ yep, i mean i take it all to heart and get well upset i do! sensitive tyope i am!
