Classroom without tears
Purich Trivitayakhun, Published on 23/03/2010
» It is almost impossible for working parents to be with their children all the time.

» While students of psychology and education have the privilege of hindsight through exposure to all major personality theories propagated by different schools of psychology - and thus the opportunity to take a more eclectic view of human behaviour, emotion and cognition - psychologists themselves use an exclusivist approach to studying the subject. One may get the impression that they do not see eye to eye and that each of them is eager to advocate his or her own narrow view and understanding of personality.

Brunch, Andrew Biggs, Published on 14/02/2010
» Valentine's Day is special for me - I first came to Thailand on that day in 1989. But there was another Valentine's Day in Thailand that turned out to be the most memorable in my life. It is not the most "sanook" story I have, but I am going to tell it to you anyway.
