Well I have got my feet wet as a teacher, even so I would not presume to put myself in the same class as Rita. She is great, and has helped me a lot. When I listen to her give a lesson I have to admit she knows her stuff. But here I am, an English teacher and having a ball with the 800 students I get to teach each week. They are very interested and polite at all times. Teachers are shown the greatest respect by the students, and it is a very pleasant school to be at.



I am the first foreign teacher to be hired at this school and I get to design my own lesson plans. Last week I prepared several students for an English speech contest against several schools in the Chiangmai area, they took 1st and 2nd place.

Morning prayer


Members of the school band at morning prayer. Scout, School and P. E. uniforms. On Friday's the school is alive with color, it's Lana day when traditional Thai costumes are worn.
A couple of features at the school would be a nice libruary and an olimpic size swimming pool which I have yet to try out. Kawila is a government run school, the students come from working class homes, many of which are single parent homes. Get this, at the end of the lesson they stand and thank the teacher for the lesson. Then clean the classroom and offer to carry my books and other resources to my office, or next class. Where did we go wrong in England and the US?
