re: "Somkid scolds science ministry as kids lose interest" (BP, January 9)
Dear editor,
It would certainly be encouraging to see it take hold, but the trouble with science is that it's very much like democracy: it only works when old ideas inherited from tradition, every last one of them, can be openly called into question and be constantly pushed to defend themselves, sound approaches that are too often criminal under Thai rule of law.
Nor does science obediently respect authority, flatly contradicting the prime minister's reform of education with his 12 Values of Thainess.
