” Romantiques malnutrition” lesson
Online and from academics who claim that a Thai text created by the Bureau of Academic Affairs and Educational Standards contains deceptive training for fifth-grade scholars have come under fire.
The textbook Pasa Patee, according to a blogger whose Facebook page is called” Madame Kashmir ,” includes an exercise that depicts the life of an orphanage-bound girl from an privileged background and how her perspective on life changes.
The protagonist’s’s parents let her down because they refused to buy her a telephone. Later, a colleague who had been abandoned invited her to visit the shelter and spend the day there in poverty.
A food that includes stir-fried water spinach is shared by around 20 people at the institution. A dish of rice and fish sauce is served with a half-boiled egg for everyone to enjoy.
The hero is overcome with love at the conclusion. She recognizes that despite their hunger, orphaned children can now find basic happiness in life.
The food portrayed in the story is a romanticized representation of malnutrition, according to Jiraruj Chomcheoy, an pediatrician who specializes in pulmonary diseases, who said this yesterday.
Does the feast have enough nutrients for kids that age? He penned. Food shouldn’t just be filling or sweet. Children’s’s mind development, individual development, and resistance will all be improved by proper nutrition. The session, according to Dr. Jiraruj, does not help the younger generation.
While kids are required to consume 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, according to netizens, half a boiled egg just contains 1.75 micrograms.
The MP candidate for the Move Forward Party, Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, already thought the reading passage from Pasa Patee was dangerous. He tweeted,” The textbook romanticizes a child’s’s undernourished meal and suggests they should give up on improving their quality of life.”
According to Mr. Wiroj, the government may reduce its saving on expensive military equipment and use the proceeds to support the budgets for school lunches.
A primary speaker also said that the teaching conveys the incorrect idea to the students. Self-sufficiency is beneficial, but it does not usually translate into quality of life. To live normally, everyone wants to be able to afford proper nutrition and house amenities, according to the teacher.
