Hundreds of students absent from school as protest
BANGKOK: A hundred student of Srinakharinwirot University in Bangkok has been absent from their school for a week to protest against their teachers due to giving a lot of homework.
The Assistant Professor Doctor Chalermchai Boonyaleephan, the President of Srinakharinwirot University, said that there are more 100 students who have been absent for a week to turn against their teachers because they are all not pleased with a lot of given assignments which is due to submit by this week. And most of protesters are the fourth-year students who are about to graduate in two months.
He also indicated that he always received tons of students’ letters which complained about this issue and asked for the decrease of homework which continually gave to them. He expected that students cannot stand with their teachers so they do like this.
The chief of Srinakharinwirot University Teachers Federation, Doctor Sutassi Samutkhochorn, stated that giving assignments to students is very appropriate because students must practice what they learned in class and teachers always evaluatefrom the students’ assignment. In addition, she said that each assignment is a part of lessons that every student have to finish before graduation and students should not have done like this.
However, one of protesters claimed that the Student Council of Srinakharinwirot University had been thinking for a long time about taking some measures to express their feeling before they made a final decision. They had a meeting several times with their group to find out the way to solve the problem; for example, they asked for their teachers to decrease an assignment each week since they had other works from other subject at the same time, and they already tried to negotiate with their teachers but it was not successful.
“We have tried our best to talk with our teachers, but it was not achievable. And teachers did not realize that giving a lot of home work makes us under stress and we seldom get enough sleep because we have to submit assignments on time. They seldom knew that we were so stressful that we could commit suicide”, some students said on Friday.
Mr. Chalearmchai also claimed that he has just formed the temporary committee to investigate the true cause so that he can get the conclusion to solve the problem and students will come back to study soon.
