Dear parents,
Please see my response to your questions. I have also cc'd a Thai master in this email chain who has excellent English and is involved in EP student discipline amongst many other duties - "Master Get".
1. Do you thinks EP M1/4 students are too much chatty in their class? Do they pay good attention to their class?
I believe they have the capacity to improve but at present, the concentration levels of the students is not acceptable as a whole. I ask many of the EP teachers and the usual response is that they are calling out in class and those with better English are sometimes challenging the teachers. It is only the 2nd day since my discipline, but I have seen a vast improvement and I also understand that the Thai Discipline office may have spoken to the year group as a whole this morning. Please understand that many of the M1 classes are "chatty" and we encourage them to practice English but first and foremost encourage them to be AC Gentlemen.
