Dear some people who go to all sorts of privileged international schools in Thailand,
If you come across this message, I want you to read it and try to ruminate about what I am going to share with you. Learning English in Thailand is never easy. In fact, it has never been easy. You should put yourself in a conventional Thai school for a week if you want to experience the challenges a regular Thai student has to go through each day.
I am happy for you that you can speak English naturally, beautifully and eloquently. The reason why some of you find it easy is simply because of your privilege. And I don’t blame you for that. However, when it comes to speaking English, it pains me to see the mockery and insults that are still prevalent among the so-called upper-class community towards people less fortunate than them.
Let me remind you that English is just a tool to help connect you to a bigger world. It's a lingua franca, not a form of superiority. Stop using it as a weapon to belittle anyone. It is not cool. It is not civilised. It is vulgar. Please be kinder. Should you find that hard to achieve, don't say anything. If you can't use your privilege to help others, just sit on it and be quiet.
PS My statement doesn't include everyone who goes to an international school. The message is for those who use their privilege to belittle others. If you are not one of those people, this message is not about you.
