Not a republic fan

» I am sorry that Wason thinks I have fallen for a conservative ploy regarding Thailand becoming a republic. Far from it. Perhaps I did not make myself clear. My last sentence clearly states that to achieve the protester aims they should stick to reform. That includes the lese majeste law surely. Nothing to do with becoming a republic.

A silly syllabus

» Former Education Minister Somsak Prissananantakul favours providing students with a better understanding of history (BP, Nov 3), so long as a process known as chamra prawattisat be undertaken, in which academics with differing opinions come together to agree on a standard interpretation. This proposal sums up much of what is wrong with Thai education, and perhaps Thai culture as well. Why have a standard interpretation of history? So it can be crammed down students' throats for later regurgitation on command? History is like a photograph. It captures events from a specific angle, with a specific depth of field, and perhaps through various filters. Why not expose students to multiple interpretations and let them, through discussion, identify the biases in each and, in the process, develop critical thinking skills?
