    International Schools Open or Closed in January?

    Hello all, I am returning to teach at an international school in the Pattaya/Rayong area in January, after four years working abroad. Any ideas on whether there will be face to face teaching, or online learning when schools reopen in January?

    It varies school to school would be my guess. Depends on the situation in Pattaya/Rayong. I would send the school an email. I would proofread the email as well.

    If you don't have that information yet (it's almost January, bub) I have to wonder about the quality of your prospective employer's administration skills.

    Ah, the occasional typo proves that your human. My line on it anyway...

    Good advice though, I will email them nearer the time.

    Do they know that you're going back to work for them, or are you just gonna waltz in unannounced and take over some random class?

    Much like last time they will open as new-normal until the government decide otherwise. And like last time we had 1 days notice. So I can't imagine they'll have a definite answer for you. But I'd get acquainted with whatever online learning platform they prefer.

    Post-new normal or old pre-normal or a fabricated normal that has yet to be named.
    Whatever those are.

    You’re.

    And no, it does not, it proves that you do not bother to proof read your own writing.

    what did you say you teach?

    I had online classes today with two students and one parent who live in Rayong. Their schools/child's school are closed with no opening date being given. From what other's have told me, the latest date given is 15 January for BMA schools.

    Who can find the hidden grammar mistake I cleverly hid in post?

    It should be 'others', not "other's".

    There's a word missing from the above question.

    As you're on a grammar / spelling nazi rampage, Nev ... you might want to look for a third time at your offering at 2:59pm.

    I didn't post anything at 2:59pm, cyrille. You might want to look at posters names more closely.

    Oops ... it was two days ago at 2:59.

    OK, so I don't follow this place keenly enough.

    OK. I see a typo, and actually a typo I remember correcting. Fuck knows how it ended up the same as before I corrected it. I blame a rogue mod. You know what they're like here. They probably have a typo_brainfuck.exe installed here.

    ^^ You've still got a pretty basic spelling mistake there.

    EDIT: I just checked it and it's a variant.

    You're right.

    I don't remember ever seeing 'milage' for 'mileage' before.

    You win.
