No doubt this thread will cause some debate. This thread could have gone in the teacher's thread or even Living in Thailand. But I would rather have this discussion in the pub.
This is the deal. My 8-year old daughter speaks fluent American English and Thai. She can write and spell rather fluently in English. Not so in Thai. BTW, my daughter is being educated in an international school in BKK.
Her mom is upset about the lack of Thai knowledge. So, here comes the Thai school on weekends...
The costs are really minimal. I could give a shit less. Can I read Thai? Well, I do pretty good with a menu, road sign or the newspaper headlines.
Enough about me, the wife is upset that the daughter can not really read or write Thai.
The fun begins.
And what is your situation?
