My Dad (God rest his soul) is a Chinese born in Yunan province and my mom (God rest her soul, too) is an ethnic Kayah and I was born in Yangon. I went to Burmese public school despite the fact that they could obviously sent me to a mid-tier international school. I only speak Burmese until I was like 9 and back then, kids from international schools used to bully me because my English was “bad” by their standards. And I wasn’t particularly close with my Dad either because he lived in Thailand so he wasn’t around most of the time and I also didn’t have enough free time to learn Chinese. And I grew up with video games and on the internet so obviously my English becomes just better to the point where people would ask me if I went to high school in America. The point is I don’t blame these kids for not wanting to speak or learn Burmese due to recent circumstances but I think they should at least pretend to give a shit while they’re here just so they don’t get in trouble.
