How are the public restrooms in Thailand?
Q. I am planning a trip to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. I am curious about the public restrooms in Thailand. If they are clean, have actual toilets or have toilet paper. The reason I ask is I went on a trip to China and their public restrooms were pretty horrendous. They rarely had actual toilets. They were usually horizontal troughs or urinals built into the ground and you have to squat over a hole that usually had no flushing system, urine all over the floor, an overwhelming nauseating stench, sometimes no stalls or doors and of course, no toilet paper! LOL So I'm curious if Thailand has a better system. TO: byu_cougars12 It's the kind of question I ask when I'm curious about something...

A. You'll find both the same sort of set-up and you'll find clean, modern facilities. It will depend upon where you are when the need arises. If you stay close to the major tourist spots, chances are you'll be OK. And if you end up having to use a more traditional toilet, at least there will be porcelain steps for your feet. You picked the premium tourist locales to visit, so you should be OK. To be on the safe side, you would be wise to carry some toilet paper with you at all times. Thailand is a beautiful country whose natives are the hardiest, most party-hardy people you'll find. I envy you the trip. Need a translator?

How does Public Education lead to the social reproduction of existing class divisions in our society?
Q. how does public school funding mirror and reproduce the inequality of our society? what steps can be taken to ensure every kid a efficient education?

A. Even putting aside kids whose parents send them to private schools...kids who live in poor school disctricts live around poor people; these people make less money and, therefore, pay less taxes; their schools, in turn, have less tax revenue with which to buy books, pay teachers, etc. Rich school districts, on the other hand, have more tax revenue to buy books, pay teachers, fund extra-curricular programs, sports, etc. Then, think about it: the kids who graduate from the schools in poor communities and stay there will make less money and thus put less money back into the community. The kids who graduate from richer schools will get better jobs and put more money back into their communities. It becomes a vicious circle.

How do you check a Public Defenders record in the courtroom?
Q. How can I check out his wins and losses and basically his job performance? I've only heard horror stories about Public Defenders, has anyone had a personal experience with one in the court system? Some people believe that there are only 2 kinds of Public defenders- Not good enough Attorney's to be hired by a law firm, or they have taken this position because they have political ambitions. Any input? Thanks for your input sensible, but you didn't really answer my question about checking his record. . .

A. There is no meaningful way to check a PD's record, because you would never have enough information to make a meaningful judgment. Suppose you found out that your PD had represented 100 defendants in jury trials and that 80 of them were convicted of the charged offense, 15 were convicted of a lesser offense, and 5 of them were acquitted. Is this a good record or a bad record? You can't tell. Maybe all of them were guilty of the charged offense, in which case the PD has a pretty good record -- he got a number of guilty people off. On the other hand, it might indicate that the PD isn't very good at all. Or it might suggest that the PD is very good (or very bad) at negotiating plea bargains (which never get to trial). No way to tell. … [cont.]
