Don't let those Prathoms get...Bravo...spendid blog! Don't let those Prathoms get you down. Focus on what you can get them to do rather than can't get them to do. Try giving out lines to individuals for things linke not instantly shutting up. How about writingthe Thai for shut-up and be quiet 100 times. Don't forget that Thai teacher tactics are more hardcore, but you can risk hitting them as a fallang, so work related punishments are the best alternative I can find. If the won't do it, double the number, keep them inside and make them write it. <br /><br />Ngiap Be Quiet<br />Ngiap Be Quiet<br />Ngiap Be Quiet<br />Ngiap Be Quiet etc.<br /><br />Make sure you write it on the board first and make sure they understand it, then just threaten at first, but be sure to apply it to at least one or two kids publically.<br /><br />Try it for extreme lateness, and you may find it sorts out all the lateness though you should establish whos fault the lateness was first.<br /><br />One more thing try not to lose it like you said you did and I'm guilty of this myself sometimes <br />It's counterproductive, and it's better to get even rather than mad. Shouting at students reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer is shouting at the dog, but all you hear is the garble from the dogs point of view.<br /><br /> I'll be checking this blog regularly if you keep up this standard, excellent read. I'll sort you a place in my Blogroll. A reciprocal link would be nice. Either start a <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogrolling.com">Blogroll</A> or just stick me in the links at the side. <br />I'll give you an entry on my Blog proper too.<br /><br />Who are you on Ajarn by the way?<br /><br />Best wishes for you new Blog..keep it up!<br /><br />Louis<br />LDMALDMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483267646205174390noreply@blogger.com
