Stop getting hung up on red herrings. We're talking about instituting a performance culture within teaching, a culture you find in other sectors. Some teachers won't get with the program and those will have to go, but that's incidental to the main point tyhat you seems either unwilling or incapable of getting.
sup fella, morning

A strong country like Thailand will just continue to develop at her own pace, tug of war or no. They will not and must not let a despot (and his puppets) come into power even if there are short term advantages for that.
Otherwise, once the despot consolidates power, it will be another Myanmar sooner or later.

I said to convert SGD to THB and what happens? The exchange rate is still so much better compared to June/July 2008... and what more can anyone expect? Even with the airport closed for a week, the currency held up. Thailand is a strong country with a strong currency.

10K Pound Jigsaw Puzzle
LONDON (Reuters) – A rubbish collector in central England could have a very good Christmas if he can solve one of the biggest jigsaw puzzles going -- 10,000 pounds-worth of torn up bank notes.
Graham Hill found the large bundle of cut up 10- and 20-pound notes while emptying bins in Lincoln last May, according to the Lincolnshire Echo newspaper.
He handed the package to police, but after six months no one had claimed the notes and investigators could find no evidence that it was stolen or linked to criminal activity.
The Bank of England said it would exchange the notes for new ones if Hill could piece the money back together again.
"Providing the bank notes meet the evidence requirements, then an application for reimbursement should be successful," a central bank spokeswoman said. "In particular we look at the two serial numbers on the front of the notes."
Colleagues of Hill's are hoping he gets to work quickly.
"I just hope he pieces enough of the notes back together to get a round of drinks in at the works Christmas do," a co-worker was quoted as saying. "Christmas is only around the corner, so any bonus will be welcome."

Want jail credit? Just clean up blood, vomit, etc.
MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee County jail inmates can knock an hour off their sentence for each hour they spend on some dirty work — cleaning up blood, feces, saliva and other bodily fluids at the House of Correction and Criminal Justice Facility.
Sheriff David Clarke said it's a common-sense approach to clean-up chores no one is eager to take on.
"Look, somebody has to do it," Clarke said. "It's cost effective because the alternative is to pay a county worker to do the job. With pay and benefits, that comes to $30 an hour."
Those who volunteer get biohazard training and protective gear.
"This isn't heart surgery and it's not like we're asking them to handle nuclear waste," Clarke said. "It's janitorial work and they do have to be trained properly because of AIDS and hepatitis."
Records show two inmates have earned time off under the program.
A 33-year-old-West Allis man convicted of fraud on a taxicab driver, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property worked nearly 13 days off his sentence.
A 29-year-old Greenfield man convicted of fraudulently obtaining a prescription drug worked off almost 11 days.
The program has been approved by the county's judges and the state jail inspector.
The union for county workers has no objections.
"It's not a job we're going to fight to keep," said union president Kurt Zunker.
