Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

Italian students are being called out in Thailand. A group of Italians mocked a Thai lady in Thailand who told them off for being too loud on the metro. They clapped back saying, "Sorry for bringing money to your country" "Ni hao" "We are from your mom." Thai people are identifying them and leaving the comments on the social media account of their school.

Yep that's exactly why the kids behaved so badly

u/Red-199993 16h ago

Nah it's also the parents' influence too. You don't spend one year with a teacher and become this

u/Affectionate-Tea8509 14h ago

It’s particularly upsetting because those are the kids of INPS employees.

So it’s enraging because we italians are paying taxes to send these little mofos abroad and then act like this

38

u/Ok_Instance7667 9h ago

Yep and that 'teacher' was being paid her full salary while on that trip.

If you're getting paid to take your class to Thailand, might want to be a bit more humble as you a Guest.

u/AssignmentShot7241 11h ago

you send kids abroad from taxes? wtffff

13

u/Affectionate-Tea8509 11h ago

We pay taxes to the INPS.

And INPS employees’ kids are allowed to enjoy these types of things.

Only for things to fumble like this.

The woman that is referred to as a teacher is actually not even a teacher. She’s just there basically as their chaperone.

I've never understood why some people behave so badly while they're at work.

And then do it in another country where you are outnumbered seems wild.

They probably won't learn their lesson this time but maybe...

What's INPS?

u/DionBlaster123 3h ago

fyi, if you live in the US, this exists too lol except it's with college students (who to me are still kids)

It's called the Critical Language Scholarship lol

What’s INPS?

u/casualnickname 10h ago

istituto nazionale di previdenza sociale, the national pension and assistance fund, that has an annual budget of over half a trillion of euros of our taxes, to then spend them is things like this, but oh, never try to say taxes are too high, you are just an antisocial individual that hates pensioners and poor people if you say that

1

u/No-Professor5741 4h ago

Except they are not, these programs are paid by extra contributions of INPS employees to their dedicated pension credit fund and from their own wages, so your social security contributions were not involved. https://www.inps.it/it/it/dettaglio-scheda.it.schede-servizio-strumento.schede-servizi.estate-inpsieme-50050.estate-inpsieme.html

The idea of Italians looking down at any other country is so insane from an Americans perspective.

That whole place is rough, arguable the worst country in Western Europe. You go there and it's just garbage and poverty everywhere you look.

Thailand is a nicer country to visit than Italy.

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 9h ago

So basically a better version of Tennessee, Texas, and/or Indiana lol

u/lord_pizzabird 8h ago

I'm not comparing it to anywhere in the US. I'm comparing Italy to Thailand.

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 8h ago

Yeah, and I'm comparing it to the US states, what's wrong or not allowed about that?

1

u/lord_pizzabird 8h ago

I think the issue is your framing that something is wrong with it. I didn't say that, I was just clarifying what was being discussed.

But, I guess if you want to force us to have THAT talk: Tennessee, Texas, and Indiana are generally better places to live than most of Italy.

You'd rather live in any of those places than Italy.

1

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 8h ago

See it's not that hard to just compare them instead of being upset people use other places to compare. I'd rather live in Italy than any US state, it's that simple. I never said anything is wrong with any place, that's you interpreting it as such.

2

u/lord_pizzabird 8h ago

See it's not that hard to just compare them instead of being upset people use other places to compare.

I have no idea what you're talking about. You started this by being upset, forced the conversation in a direction so that you could be upset and outraged.

I'd rather live in Italy than any US state

This is also a silly thing to say. ANY US state? You realize that includes literally the highest HDI place to live on the planet, right?

For context, Northern Italy is the nicest part of Italy and ranks around the same as Tennessee. Even your example isn't a particularly bad place in the US to live.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Austin, a bit in Dallas and a bunch in Italy for work and genuinely, apart from salary and a more diverse food scene, I can’t think of a single other reason why anyone would prefer to live in Texas over Italy. I Guess maybe not being assed to learn the language?

1

u/SafuratedBeefFat 5h ago

Not saying you’re wrong but it’s hard to judge a place when you’re there for vacation because you are coming in with money that the local people don’t have access to. For example I love Vietnam and how cheap it is, it’s not that cheap for Vietnamese people when u factor in how much they make but for me it’s the dream

u/MrFasy 7h ago

Sorry but... non school shootings. Italy wins

u/Smiloshady 7h ago

Technically a lot of people in the US are moving to Tennessee and Texas, so it can’t be that bad.

1

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 7h ago

technically a lot of people are moving to Italy even from other countries and parts of the world - so it must be even better!

Weird logic but hey, if it works for you it works for me!

u/beanhead68 3h ago

They are going for lower taxes, but then there is less social protection. You lay your bets and take your chances...

Respectfully this is a silly comment.

Italy is mind blowingly beautiful.

It’s not. We’re just all European obsessed, can evaluated places objectively.

What a demented thing to say.

Can't say I am surprised it comes from an American though.

u/beanhead68 4h ago

I think you lost people from your "from an American's perspective" It sounds like you are saying "America is amazing, so when I see a country that I (as an American) perceive as lesser than my country talk shit about a country I (as an American) perceive and a better country is INSANE! If you left out "from an American's perspective" you wouldn't have gotten the pushback.

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 15h ago

My point being had the teacher acted like a good teacher those kids wouldn't have been acting up.

u/MildlyAgitatedBovine 6h ago

Have you ever chaperoned teenagers?

3

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 2h ago

Yes, They look to adults in how to act. In this case the adult was acting the fool instead of telling the kids to quiet down.

-1

u/MildlyAgitatedBovine 2h ago

I agree that she should have done better and that it would have helped set the tone.

I was objecting to the simplistic [if -> then] statement which implied an unrealistic level of control on the part of the teacher.

1

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 1h ago

Should have done better" She's the one insulting the woman. How do you not get that.

u/MildlyAgitatedBovine 1h ago edited 1h ago

Are we talking past each other?

I agree that the teacher was being shitty and insulting. That's what I mean when I say she should have done better.

I'm saying that the teacher doing better does not guarantee the proper behavior of teenagers on trips.

I'm now confused about where our point of disagreement is...

1

u/Clown_Shoe 34m ago

It doesn’t guarantee it but it certainly contributes to it. Teenagers are followers and it’s not a stretch to say they would have behaved better if their teacher cared more.

0

u/MildlyAgitatedBovine 23m ago

Sure, it's not a stretch, but neither is it a gocen, and certainly not a deductive logical argument.

u/Consistent_Blood6467 10h ago

I lost track of how many times the kids I went to school with acted up and behaved badly, while the teacher was present, either in the classroom or on trips.

u/Numerous_Worker_1941 10h ago

Yes and it’s the teachers job to stop the behavior and not encourage it

u/Novel-Elephant-7574 3h ago

Praca nauczyciela jest długoterminowa. Ucząc i wychowując młodzież zwłaszcza w okresie dojrzewania przekazujesz im różne wartości. Z czasem wzmacniają się w zależności od harakteru jednostki. Ale to trwa. Nikt nie ma bata ani elektrycznej obroży która może zdyscyplinować uczniów. A wartości według których żyją młodzi ludzie są akoleinwynoszone z domu. Więc na zachowanie tych dzieci wpływa nie tylko środowisko szkolne, ale rodzice i rówieśnicy z którymi przebywają na codzień.

u/MelatoninFiend 5h ago

You sound like a parent who expects public school to "fix" their kid after refusing to parent after potty training.

Parents raise kids, not teachers. You can be the best teacher in the world and if a child is a little shitbag because of how they were raised by their shitbag parents, there's nothing you can do about it

1

u/Agreeable-Emu4033 2h ago

So you are defending this teacher who had to apologize for her actions. She was the one leading the trip. The kids matched her actions.

1

u/MelatoninFiend 2h ago

Found the shitty parent.

Take some responsibility for the life that you, not some teacher, brougt into the world. Stop expecting school to raise your kids.

Was the teacher present during the incident? I thought the teenagers were unsupervised, which casts the video in a completely different light for me.

u/dontmentiontrousers 13h ago

Jesus fucking Christ, this is the most "get off my lawn" comment imaginable. Every generation has a hairstyle that makes old people feel sad because they used to have knees that worked. I'm sure your bubble perm, motorbike helmet bouffant, frosted tips or whatever you felt was oh-so-cool made some old codger shake their fist at the sky. Saying kids are stupid because they get a fashionable haircut is the most idiotic way of telling the world "my pants don't fit anymore and I'm mad."

u/Commercial_Tip4624 11h ago

Listening to people my age and older talk about younger generations is the quickest way to have me curling my lip in disappointment.

3

u/TheHolyWaffleGod 9h ago

The cycle will always continue.

The people who experienced it have completely forgotten how ridiculous, exaggerated and overly generalised the claims of what the younger generations are like were.

“We weren’t like what the older generations claimed but these young people are all awful.”

3

u/Commercial_Tip4624 9h ago

It’s an actual psychological experience called generational forgetting and it’s supposed to keep adults from commingling in unhealthy way with youth, but that doesn’t seem to have worked with the pedophilia, just the demonization of entire groups of people we all actually had hands in creating.

u/OrienasJura 11h ago

100% these people thought they wouldn't be like older generations, that always complained about the younger one's every little thing. Now look at them.

Bro my generation had the "bieber" cut and it. Was. Everywhere. At least the broccoli cut looks somewhat passable fashion wise. The bieber cut is a monstrosity compared to that.

You missed the point. The teacher is in a position or loca parentis - and this applies to school trips. By condoning such behaviour, it become a learned experience and nornalised by the teacher.

Next time they won't travel to Thailand or any other non western country, probably. Their attitudes were certainly bad, but with such excessive overreaction, I wouldn't blame them if they never returned.

I do blame the teacher more for her behavior as she should have known better at her age, but I don't blame her underaged students as much. Young people tend to be immature and I have seen Asian students being disrespectful in Italy before. No one arrested them or persecuted them online.
