Continuing an earlier blog. . .
a while back ago i wrote about Violence against teachers in Thailand. . .just wanted to update whats going on over there. . .i guess i feel that being a teacher teaching in an "urban" high school where violence, gangs, ect ect exists, i always feel compelled to understand how other teachers handle violence in and around their schools. i honestly dont know if i could teach in a building that was surrounded by razor wire with soldiers outside. i mean, maybe there's a sense of safety but at the same time, you kind of realize how dangerous your job really is! its interesting because they interview some teachers and they give two different views:

Tanakorn Saengtarung, a school principal: I'm a teacher and I'm carrying a gun? It saddens me just to think about it.
Garonpan, a sports teacher: It's necessary for teachers to defend themselves, we dont know who the enemy is, so I think it's good.

It's crazy how the world works sometimes. Here's the link to the article Learning to live with Thai violence. Check it out people and hope that education and violence in the U.S. never get to this level.
