I somehow get the feeling that most people (and teachers) in Thailand would miss the point that successful learning is a result of hard work by many dedicated people. This example says that if we really try, we will succeed.
Somehow, the feeling that not many Thais have the dedication and tenacity to over the hard yukka and many more Thais are inclined to invent smart ways to show success (as told in The Sin of Taking the Measure To Be the Goal https://www.gotoknow.org/posts/713359 ) and disregard the real attempts.
