Tea money at schools is just plain wrong
Play
Misdirected, so-called elite-school admission "paejia" tea money payments are blatant examples of morally corrupt "bribe-and-groom" double standards.
Concerned parents, obsessively intent on providing only the best for their beloved offspring, yield to highest-bidder auctions, or social security investment rewards, labelled "pledged donations for school developments". Those who cannot afford to play the rigged intimidation game are, therefore, discriminated against. Such disparate standards are not only illegal and in bad taste, but are ethically abhorrent, because they represent Bangkok-centric top-down directives that justify wrongs that are contradictory to constitutional guarantees for quality education equality for each and every child in the Kingdom.
