Do you teachers feel you treat all students equally regardless of gender, and also do not hold a grudge however mild, taking it out on the target student later on?
More to the point, do you feel his protests are valid, and that in your experience Thai are more likely than farang teachers to be prejudiced against students, either in regard to gender or history?
