» Re: "Fertility rate too low," (Editorial, Jan 31). It is disappointing to see the Post jumping on the bandwagon of pundits who advocate government action to increase the birth rate in order to boost the economy, while ignoring the larger context of a planet suffering from the ecological effects of too many people.

» 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?
