Thinking about the indifference of the other ESL teachers to the institutionalized hitting of children in Thai schools, I realized something truly frightening... These were the same people who when we first met, told me with great sadness about the abused elephants of Thailand. They talked about how the elephants would be separated from their parents and forced to be in cages, and how they were hit by their human controllers and controlled through fear. How they would be scared and frightened but would have to perform anyway or they would be punished.
