CORRUPTION WITHIN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM? THAILAND/AMERICA


REPOSTING DUE TO LACK OF RESPONSE OR HELP!

 

Today I have just had the heartbreaking news that one of my top students who is always getting top grades and loves to communicate in English has just heard that he hasn �t passed the test for going to America as an exchange student.

Last week he went for an interview and myself along with other English teachers helped him prepare for his interview and how to answer all of the questions that may be put to him at the interview stage.

Well he came back full of happiness and was sure he did better than just well in the interview. He said the interviewer was pleased with the way he answered all of the questions and that he had passed with flying colours and that on Monday he would find out the results of his interview. Come today,Monday he had heard the bad news that he didn �t pass the interview...! much to my and all the English teachers surprise.

And what makes this decision worse than it already is, is the fact that some of the other students that I know went to the same interview but have a grade D standardised test results not like the boy Wit who hasn �t passed and has a grade A or B result in any of the tests given to him.

these other students have passed only by way of paying for their entry into the system that I feel is very much a shitty way to handle cases by means of paying for it as to being very well educated and loves the English but can �t pay for their entry like the rich can....! :(

My question is has any of the teachers on this website come across something very much like I have just experienced, and how did you feel? or handle the situation?.

I don �t want to give up on this wonderful student who is very gifted with English and would like to ask anyone here is there anything I could do to make this boys "GOAL" to study in America who loves the MLB American League and would love to play for a school that would somehow except him into a scholarship, he is 16 years of age and the parents do have the money for him to travel and start schooling for one year in America. 

So is there anyone from America who could help with this message?

Your thoughts and information wouldn �t go unnoticed and without reserve or reservation.

Please help this poor kid....! to full-fill his ambitions and goals in life.

REDBULL GIVES YOU WINGS YOU KNOW.

don �t have an answer, but it certainly hurts me seeing you staring around with what, seems to me, corruption. No one answered your post and it also hurted me. What can I say?  I understand you, what you feel, this world is turning upside down, better, this world is mostly down upside, or whatever. no answers, sorry, i live in a country where things like these are soooooooooooo familiar; still, there are many of us fighting. Hope you can survive, sure you will, we all do; we will overcome,but need to be ready to broadcast these problems ( wow, I managed to be very polite, didn �t I ). Hugs, Redbull, take good care of your wings, you �ll need them.
