There are many versions of 'proper' Thai. Put three locals in a room and you will get three different answers. So finding a Thai teacher to trust is difficult if you don't know your way around the language (as one wouldn't when starting out).

However, it is also important to acknowledge that millions speak other languages and dialects as their mother tongue - Lao, Khmer and Malay dialects, hilltribe languages -, many go to school hardly knowing any Thai, but that does not and should not make them second-class citizens for all their lives. It would be nice to have a "languages day" that focuses on all this heritage and diversity, so people learn more about each other rather than cultivate mistrust, condescending attitudes, or inferiority complex.

The content of your post was well described and full of detail. I'm sure it will give people a good insight into what is a very important day in the Buddhist calendar.
