    I think stolen valor really only applies to military personnel. And let’s face it, not many people would want to pretend they’d been a teacha in Thailand, eh?

    A cliche does serve a purpose, and some are unavoidable they’re that effective viz. low hanging fruit, uphill battle, the grass is greener.

    A ‘lived experience’ is silly, not least because of its tautology, rendered superfluous by substituting ‘my’ for ‘lived’

    If one wants to qualify it, excluding the purely academic, then ‘empirical’ might be a nice adjective to use.

    How about 'Lived experience is just that: lived'.

    A sure sign of a complete anchor, that one.

    Teacher in Thailand here.

    They call us 'Teacher _______' or 'Mr' _______.

    I get a 'Sir' if I venture into High School.

    The only way you'd get kru or ajarn was if you were in some banok backwater where even the word teacher is out of their reach

    You missed the point again. I look forward to reading 20 posts in a row from you that also continue to miss the point.

    Cyrille didn’t mind when his boys got his title wrong. He enjoyed giving them bottom marks.

    Have you constructed another one of your homo-erotic fantasies around it, tax?

    If so, please don't feel obliged to share.

    Just pm it to iceprick, your fellow tiresome, unimaginative troll.

    Cyrille loves to dish it out and then duck for cover. An absolute humourless wrong ‘un

    Anyway Ciz, did you have any luck finding that tall boy with the easily removable drawers?

    Yeah, armstrong is inadvisably extrapolating beyond his patch of the rug there.

    Quite amusing, as he was saying other people have parochial views.

    I thought this thread was about some Kiwi not the term used for teacher at various levels in Thailand, an education system which delivers graduates for 7Elevens who can advise you on your choice of menthol nasal sniffs.
