Are there any options to the Salesian School?

Maybe Mods should rename this thread or create a more general new one on Education in HH/Thailand?

I don't have a detailed knowledge of what goes on in the schools, but can only assume that the general criticism of the standard of education is a valid one. My 14 year old stepson never has any homework, which I assume is fairly common? By comparison, I have a 6 year old niece born in HH but now living in the UK who regularly gets homework during the week. We may criticise the UK education system (with some justification), but it appears to be a million miles better than the general education here.

Dannie Boy,

No homework ? My 5 year old has been getting homework since she was 3 years old..... She does stay behind at school for an extra hour (along with most of the class it appears) to do it. makes the day very long IMHO.

For what it's worth, both our kids get homework. However, I have a feeling the older kids don't get homework. My wife's baby brother attends HH Commercial College and he has never yet had any homework to do. In fact, judging from the photos he takes, I don't think they do any work at the college either.

Ok maybe that's the same here because he does stay late, but I am still surprised that there is no set work where he has to research the Internet for information etc.
