100's of reports of the Teacher's Suicide in Korea. Reason??

A shocking scene unfolds:

When a young furious boy was seen attacking the vice principal of his school, His actions doesn't stop there and he begins to destroy the school property.

The reason behind his outburst?

He wanted to go home during school hours, and the school denied his request.

This troubling incident highlights a deeper issue within South Korea’s education system, where the balance of power between students, parents, and teachers is dangerously skewed.

Years ago, teachers in South Korea were respected figures, for their discipline and imparting knowledge. However, times have changed. Now, if a teacher scolds a student or tries to discipline them, they risk being accused of emotional abuse.

Parents, who once partnered with teachers in their children's education, now often see themselves as customers.

They believe their taxes pay the teachers' salaries, which has fostered a sense of entitlement. This change has made teachers lose the respect and authority they once had.

To make matters worse, anti-bullying policies, intended to protect students, have been twisted into tools of manipulation.

These policies state that any record of bullying must be included in a student’s university application, impacting their future prospects.

However, some parents threaten teachers, demanding the removal of any negative records. If teachers refuse, they face accusations of abuse, which can ruin their careers.

South Korea’s education system is known for its competitiveness, placing immense pressure on students and teachers alike. This pressure has given rise to a culture where parents prioritize their child’s academic record over their behavior.

Unfortunately many Teachers suicide due to this mental stress that they face.

This story raises important questions about the future of education in South Korea.

Hundreds of thousands of teachers are protesting in South Korea after the suspected suicide of a teacher that was widely blamed on the burden on educators in a country for its high-pressure education system.

Angry teachers say they face overly harsh demands and even harassment from aggrieved parents, and are calling for legal reform and greater protections.

Up to 200,000 protesters participated in a rally on Saturday, according to the Korean Federation of Teachers’ Associations, citing event organizers. And on Monday, an estimated 50,000 teachers stopped work and gathered in the capital to commemorate the deceased teacher, according to organizers – despite authorities’ initial warnings that striking would be considered “illegal.”

On Monday, when teachers also mourned the suicide of a teacher who claimed to have suffered at the hands of abusive parents, some elementary schools canceled classes, according to the Education Ministry

How can teachers effectively educate and discipline students when their authority is constantly undermined?

What will be the long-term effects on children who learn that they can evade consequences through threats and violence?
