Is English being taught in the Thai schools?
Exactly this. Not additional at school tutoring, but something outside the traditional Educational framework. I've heard of this problem for years - prejudice against luk krung in competitions upcountry. Fortunately I've worked in schools that I've never seen this could become an issue. The reputation of the school was about excellence and no matter how it fault they are in many aspects of Education they would not be so petty as to discriminate like this. I think this is also true of Bangkok in general. I cannot see a mixed kid losing a competition because they are in fact mixed. Not in Bangkok. For the Thai teachers you comment on. They are pretty bad at the best schools in Bangkok so I could only imagine the horror show that goes on up country. Thai teachers are not paid at all well paid and are required to put in an enormous amount of hours. This is not a defense but at some point in time I'm sure it all just breaks down. I have long since thought that Thai teacher should only be allowed to teach 20 years and their pension should be based upon that. -

Why do most people NOT smoke weed even though it's legal?
Because alcohol has been an accepted social "lubricant" for centuries, while weed has been villanized as a drug amd most people don't want anything to do with drugs. You could also argue that one can drink alcohol without getting drunk, while this is not possible with weed or any drug for that matter, unless you're into micro-dosing. Having said that, I prefer being high over being drunk by a mile!
