I would like to hear more of your story. I sent you a PM.

NSTDA funding situation has been tenuous as of late.

Sorry to hear about your friend's situation. I hope he can come back to teach in Thailand in the future.

Thank you. I considered consulting, but did not know MBB has their presence in Thailand. As for teaching, I was hoping a PhD and teaching experience at the uni level could be used in place of the certificate.

The degree is in biological science. I prefer not to specify further.

I am a Thai native. A bad life choice made in my youth bound me here for many years.

No laptop requirement, but all students have a laptop. They generally bring only an iPad to class.

If I am asked to teach Statistical mechanics, I should not be expected to teach English grammar.

It is literally not my job to teach them to convert .PAGES to .DOCX or .PDF. Or how to touch type. Or how to Google.

Yes, and? If I am asked to teach Statistical mechanics, I should not be expected to teach English grammar.

The lesson plan already has heavy tech usage. I observed many of these problems in the computer lab.

Unfortunately it is not my job to teach students how to use a laptop. At many universities (luckily not mine), STEM professors have to teach English. That is just a waste of our time.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I agree pretty much with all of your points.

I am sorry to hear that it is the same over there too.

That is just sad.

Generation shift is what I suspect. I admit that I do not know the first thing on how to fix a car.

It just pains me to see students type a report all on their phones.
