You will experienced these a lot if you're in education(or any children-related field) career... and escpecially you're not in a healthy working environment
It's not intentional, you imagine how hard to marry in the world most men only marry after having house and car which took them 40 years+ to gain and with so many little time left with their children , they can't help but only want to leave good memory with their kid aka spoiling them rotten. This problem will never be solved until the life quality turns better which is impossible nowdays.
@@Jsarmy87124 it really is, without discipline, there is no self-cultivaztion in the children they may become disruptive even as individual, common sense is a matter in this fact. You said "No" because you lived a good life without experiencing hard ships, you must understand the difference
@jinlondzale4191 Japan's situation is certainly much better than Korea's but I feel like kids these days are just getting worse and worse in general, all around the world
Parents too should be charged with assault. It is their negligence as a parent that led to that situation. They're going to be forced to discipline their kids if they're held accountable for their kids actions.
I think South Korea has a problem of middle school aged kids committing really bad crimes because they know they’ll get away with barely any punishment too
Its already happening. Lots of places around the world are finding it hard to recruit teachers. In the UK most only stay in the profession for 3 years and just watch a video from Japan were they are struggling to find enough teachers.
@@jw841 Yep. I teach pre-university students (so 17-19yo) and even at this level the retention rate of teachers is low. We do not have to deal with parents that much but boy are the students rude and entitled. The admin and government keep making things harder for profs too, expecting us to do more and put up with more, as if we're robots with limitless time and energy. I'm one year in and already planning my way out of the industry because doing this for more than 2-3 years...yikes.
This is definitely a parent issue, I worked there for years and the parents would call the schools and threaten if their kids failed exams. The parents would demand the school change their kid's grades. The parents are worse than the students.
@@wiffleyA nanny has zero interest in not saying no! Not to mention that you really think that they use nannies in that country? Even if they do, the parents still spend more time with their kids than the nannies!
@@wiffley I've been working as a nanny in NYC for over 15 years and I have never ever seen an Asian nanny not being super strict with the kids!!! And South Korea isn't the USA, where a lot of families have nannies! Also never heard such nonsense that nannies spoil kids! You know what most nannies complain about? That the parents come home and the kids turn into little unrecognizable monsters because the parents spoil them! They are well behaved until mommy or daddy comes home. I never had kids under my watch who didn't listen to me, but the same exact kids scream and roll on the floor when their parents are around. You know why? Because they don't want to deal with parenting! Look up on any nannies forum or just in general why kids listen to their nannies but not the parents! The answer is always that the parents rather give them everything to keep them quiet instead of parenting. Love and consequences is what a child needs but that's a lot of work and too much for parents!
I was an English teacher in Korea for 3 years (I just returned to my home country at the end of February). I experienced this first hand. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through as a person. I asked for help many times but with the language barrier and my Korean co teachers being young, no one listened to us until it was too late. My last year was the worst. I had students threaten to kill me, kill their classmates, and kill themselves for being told no or to stop hitting their classmates (including with crutches). I had a student pull a craft knife on another kid. Kids kicking doors, breaking windows, and throwing chairs because they were told they needed to use an eraser. Others throwing basketballs down stairwells from the 4th floor. Pushing teachers, swearing at teachers. Their homeroom teachers had given up because they were fearful of the parents, so did the school administration. After I came home I decided I never wanted to be a teacher again (something I had wanted to do my whole life and did 5 years of post-secondary school for that costs tens of thousands of dollars). I felt so lost (and I still do a lot of time). I was diagnosed with PTSD and I'm working on it. I'm going back to school for a new career at almost 30 years old because I cannot walk back into a classroom as a teacher after what I went through. I love Korea and Korean people but my experience teaching there was a nightmare. And I am well aware that many Korean teachers feel hopeless and lost and they struggle getting any change. But there is a whole group of foreign English teachers who are also struggling with no support. As a native English teacher, we can't attend any protests or we can be deported. We have no union, no support, many of us face a language barrier, and we are often overlooked and forgotten.
I taught in Korea for a year and did not renew my contract. Korea is really flawed and crap under the wrapper of kpop and k dramas. It’s nothing like its squeaky clean fake image.
I have heard nothing but horrible things from teachers who taught in Korea. I used to teach in Thailand and there were a lot of annoying things like no breaks and having to do things outside of my job description but no abuse or bad behavior from students and parents. Thai culture respects teachers, they just need to pay us a lot more and not overwork us.
I taught in South Korea for three years too. Thankfully, no child tried me but some were loud and I had to yell at them. And one boy twisted a Korean teacher's arm and she cried and I came in and yelled at them and demanded they apologize. Being a teacher is hard and draining and the administrators placate the parents and don't stand up for the teachers. Had to get them in line as well. Guess I was aggressive or fighting for and demanding respect?
Can u imagine the kind of teenager that boy will be. I feel sorry for the poor girls that he will date and probably treat horribly. Then that teenager will become a man and imagine how that will go? The parents should be ashamed.
date lol imagine the girls that reject him , pray he doesnt seek revenge on them. coz as per this video he is not taking A Teacher's NO very seriously !!!
I’m a teacher in Singapore; taught for more than 15 years and in 4 schools; just left the service and I concur it’s not easy to teach nowadays; 1) new generation of students that are so coddled by their parents that each little complain from their kids will have parents ring school up, and demand unreasonable explanations and apologies when it’s not even the teachers’ fault. 2) New generation of Principals and bosses (middle managers); the younger ones: scholars who are high strung in their pursuit of making names for themselves that they tend to always concede to parents’ demands rather than protect teachers dignity at times especially those at better schools and workload has increased significantly because every school is trying to outdo another by having niche programmes etc or unnecessary additional programmes that teachers always have to be part of; when it could be outsourced . They also treat Teachers for granted and we are replaceable anytime even after all the work we put in. 3) it’s inevitable that if education and discipline is not imparted properly at home by new generation of parents who treat teachers like day time nannies then future is bleak for even Singapore 4) Did I also mention students are getting more and more entitled
I agree. The Ministry of Education have failed badly when they don't empower the teachers to do their job properly. Ministers and principals should not pander to parents complaints. Complaints should be handled by the school's Discipline committee, without Principals interference.
I'm a parent & I agree with you on points regarding students. Parents can be a real pain for teachers and schools. Virtue is also lacking in today's world.
Too bad Teachers in the past tend to abuse their Power and inflict unfair punisments towards Students which lead to the situation we have today where parents are more protective of their kids…
People say Asians are so respectful, kind, shy and conservative but that’s the total opposite. They’re just like everyone else. Don’t let the k dramas fool you people.
Contrary to the west, perhaps. I get the k-drama part, but Asia is a whole continent. Then again, most people think it's only Japan, China and Korea. sad.
imagine getting harrased physically by a child that are 30 years younger than you but cant fight back or even tell the world about it thats the definition of hell. hell on earth
the fighting back bit is wrong, however i understand what you mean, there should be greater teachers protection and the parents should be pursued legally for their Childs actions.
kid must be a privileged kid...parts of korea is still corrupt...so either his parents are giving huge sum of endowments to the school or they have some political influence...who knows...dude, the United States is more sensitive on issues pertaining to child abuse and if we did anything close to what that delinquent child did, number 1, the cops would be called, number 2, ACS might be notified to investigate the environments of the home to rule out any suspicion emotion neglect or trauma, number 3, that child would face suspension and a mark of delinquency BRANDED on his permanent record.
Now my pitch to you: I am building a community of women where we do girl chat and talk about things like this along with basically ANYTHING. We can talk makeup, clothes, heights, relationships, hair, hairpins, school, goals, dreams, nightmares. Give our opinions, give advice, share cooking recipes, share your angers, your hurts, your fears, your loneliness, your wins, your losses... Women all over the world are welcome. Even if you can't speak English, you can tune in with closed captioning in your language so you can follow what's being said, you can make comments in your language and we can translate it for ourselves, each user, I mean. I really believe every woman can participate. We can reach inside ourselves and transform from the inside out. I especially would like to talk to you Korean women about this and what's going on in your country. Please think of joining because it will be transformative. Join not only the girl chat lives (when they start), but also subscribe. When you subscribe, don't forget to turn on your notification so you can know when the lives start. You no longer have to suffer alone. You no longer have to suffer the crushing self-doubts and even worse, the loneliness. Social media has made the whole world accessible and that includes WOMEN worldwide. I want to show you the power of YOU, woman, and what's possible...from, by and BECAUSE of you. It will start going live on Weds 9est, that's NY time. Please also comment what time will be best for you bc I understand everyone will be coming from a wildly different time zone. Until we can get moderators, we will have to find a central time that works for everyone. If you also prefer to email suggestions, questions, etc, send it to ghossupgurls@gmail.com
They learn this kind of disrespectful behavior AT HOME, and it's a trend for parents to not parent their kids anymore. They give them iPads, and let them do whatever they want.
I thought this was only happening in the USA. I quit being a teacher last year because of the bad behavior of students, low pay and dealing with parents who thought their kids poop didn’t stink.
@@fluoroantimonicacid4844 True parentless children are generally timid and shy. Because in any negative situation, they have no one to rely on and the kid is very well aware of that. What you're seeing is a spoiled brat made from spoiled brats.
@@naturediscovered just teachers in general. You got music teachers in the US singing opera pieces without any mistakes just so they can sing “the wheels on the bus” to some kids or teach about quarter notes
Same here in the US !! Top 3 reasons people are leaving Teaching and VERY FEW are in Teacher Training Programs #1 - LOW pay and A LOT of WORK #2 Student Behavior ( No consequences ) #3 Parents!! We're expected to have Masters Degrees and attend ENDLESS meetings and " classes". Yet EVERY OTHER profession which requires that level of education will continue to experience salary raises , while ours flatten after 10 years However the VERY WEALTHY can always pay for expensive private schools . Which is why nothing will change in the near future if at all It's really sad and infuriating
I was an English teacher at a private school in South Korea in 2008-2009 and am very surprised to hear of the challenges teachers in S.Korea are experiencing. When I was there, the students were all expected to be very respectful towards their teachers, and it was my experience that all of the students were. I'm a teacher in Canada now and have seen a massive rise in behavioral and emotional challenges in students since I began a decade ago.
Sadly in korea they cant resign as they want The one suicide case happened coz the school refuse the teacher resign (maybe the teacher fear about recommendation letter) and another case is even after the teacher resign and go to military and work in other place, the parents of the student still complain to him Even until the day and time he died they still send text and voice message complain to him This poor teacher say to his family how he so afraid to pick up his phone, he felt in invisible jail coz of it Korean just have crazy culture when it about bullying
What the boy did to a vice principal shows the values he has at home. When I go out, my parents always tells/reminds me..what I do outside that is against the rules means showing the values I have at home. In short, never put your parents in shame for not teaching their children the good manners and right conduct particularly RESPECT TO ANYONE REGARDLESS OF STATUS.
I have to disagree. In the 80s one of our schools had a group of students who bullied the principal, students and the teachers, driving motor cycles in the hallways, even tied up the principal and noone could stop it. They had no support, not even from the police. 😳
i graduated highschool in 2016 and none of us were like this. but i do remember in my last year me and my friends would genuinely be shocked at how disrespectful some little kids were and how their parents even saw other students like us as people who should serve their kids.
I agree talk back is common my friend is a teacher in Philadelphia but overall she gets along with her students unlike lording it over her former students in West Africa she discusses issues with her current students
They feign depression to get discharged from NS. Two of my nephews got away with it and they claim the same for their friends. Parents these days just turn a blind eye to bad behaviours and refuses to discipline them or let them suffer consequences.
It depends things will either be worse and the bullying will continue or they’ll be “whipped into shape” or they themselves will be bullied and harassed and their spirit broken. The amount of horror stories some soldiers have upon release after finishing their enlistment is scary at best and crazy to say the least.
My son held another boy back from hitting another student. He lost his job over it and even though it went to court and was considered not child abuse but a protective act, he still was not ever able to teach again. These students were five years old. To this day, it has never been removed from his record. The red flag remains. This happened in Provo, Utah, USA.
Crazy right? Im a parent myself its not OK for a kid hitting another kid! those entitled kid and parents thought bullying other kids is FINE, but if the bullied kid fought back the entitled family would think no this is not ok ! Crazy parents crazy kids
When I tell you that these children wouldn't last a day if they were in a African's child's shoes I meant. The level of disrespect that kid has is outrageous.
Wow..how dare a young child abuse an adult like this. it won't stop there. no norms and values. spoil your children parents!! These kids become narcissists or murderers
This situation triggers your heart for the teachers who suffer the abuse. Huge blame to the parents for cuddling bad behavior, and the government for not doing their job of protecting teachers from abuse and retaliation. So sad.
I live in Korea with my husband and taught English for a verrrry short time because the kids just did not listen to me. They just yelled and messed around the whole time, not even listening to the co-teacher who spoke to them in Korean. Every day I had only 1 class by myself, and no matter how loud I spoke (which the head of the school told me to just speak louder and louder to the kids so they would listen), I had to call in another teacher to help me control them. Kids fighting, yelling, crying, running around. All of the other foreign teachers talked about how much the parents didn’t discipline their kids and we were responsible for it. They have so many teachers who quit every year because of it and I was a replacement for one them. The parents too just blame the teachers. Now I just tutor English online instead. Mind you, this school paid not much more than minimum wage but those parents paid A LOT for that school and had us to do after school (basically daycare) which was way worse. Kids with behavior problems that literally had to be taken out of school. Although, I’ve heard this happening in the US too lately in some schools. 😬
IN the USA, teachers are pushing to add cameras into the classroom to prevent he said she said situations. Schools are loosing teachers faster, than they can replace them. Now, some USA public schools give students a good grade for showing up (but refusing to do any work) just to get them graduated because the admin don't want to tell the parents their child can't graduate. Teachers are told they cannot discipline, and cannot reward students anymore bc admin is afraid to face the parents. I met a few teachers (got permission through HR) to record themselves teaching to show the parents how their child behaves in class. Parents in the USA threaten to sue all the time
@MultiDarkAngel91 tbh cameras in the classroom would fix a lot of problems. The principal and parents can see their kids if they act up and they can see also see if a student like a special needs student is being mistreated by teachers. (I've seen a lot more stories of that happening in recent years.) It could also capture bullying.
@@MultiDarkAngel91 Yesss, I talked to a teacher in the US who taught middle school and that’s the first time I heard something similar. He was told to pass the kids, even if they didn’t do anything in class just to get them through school. I didn’t realize until then that was happening and that the parents were part of the problem.
Let me say this First Off these "Today Kids" are Out of Control!! As a preschool teacher here in Texas I can tell you that it starts at home!! When parents don't enforce guidelines and boundaries Or principles with their kids and allow them to get away with that Bad Behavior!! Then naturally kids assume they can Do That With Any Adult!! Being an Educator/Teacher has become the Most Toughest Job in Society!! If it wasn't for the love I felt for working with children then Perhaps I should have taken a job working in Construction 🏗️ at least I won't be scrutinize or penalized for Doing My Job😮!! I wish all these Teachers/ Employees all the Best in getting some type of Relief or Comfort in this matter🙏🏽
in korea is very impotant that the kids dont get expelled, it can damage the kids image in the future... so parents bully the teachers to avoid that and bad grades for their kids. the root problem are the parents not the kids.
@@awkwardniqaabi I believe it depends in the US. If the child is from a middle/upper class family, they usually are not (as they have the resources to push back), but if the child is from a lower class family, they will. It would seem Korea is similar.
@@awkwardniqaabi they DO it in the US don’t listen to that comment. If you lay hands on a teacher sometimes you even get charges pressed on you if you’re in high school if the teacher chooses to.
This is disturbing.ill not be surprised if when this kids grow up they'll end up being a bully .this is parents fault. So ironic that parents wanted their kids to be in school but doesn't want them to learn even the basic respect
Wow, I am surprised this isn't just a US issue. I assumed the Asian cultures had more respectful children and parents. I am so sorry for all teachers. It used to be, the threat of telling your parent of you misbehaving at school worked for most of us. The fact that parents are as bad as the students is heartbreaking. I think the parents with disrespectful children should have to teach their children themselves.
In the PH we have a Values Education/Formation subject. They are also graded with their GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct). Everytime the teachers give out the report cards quarterly, they write down in the remarks section the kids' behavior. And they also talk to the parents about it and what the child needs to improve on. Then the parents followed up. So there is a partnership between parents and teachers for the kids' development not only with subjects and the grades but also for the entire well being of the child. So the child should behave accordingly.
sadly this won't be applicable in SK or other developed countries where parents are twisted and treat schools and teachers as slaves whose only job is to ensure their investments in their children are protected and prioritized
I was asked to do a private language-tutoring session with a 5-year-old girl. Within the first 10 minutes, the child came over to my side of the table and slapped me on the back of my right hand as I was writing. She later accused me of pushing her because I had to keep blocking her with my left forearm. I told her at least 10x, "Don't touch me!" Then, when I would block her from molesting me, she'd say back to me: "Don't touch me!" It was so grotesque that I ended a 10-year relationship with the tutoring school, and refuse to ever do private tutoring again. It felt like I'd been set up. Fortunately, I am a woman, but if I were male, it would have been much more serious in terms of the child's accusations.
Parents have authority over their children at home while in schools , principals and teachers should have the authority over the students if they are not abusing their power. All students must know this truth or the country will collapse.
Philippines based teachers also experienced challenges from entitled parents and students who would not allow their kids to be disciplined. however slapping a teacher would somehow be not tolerated by the govt. Economically and demographically Ph is far different from SoKor, this new culture of tolerance on children misbehavior may have caused by a high western influence which is the biggest similarity of both countries.
I can say Singapore is slowly turning into this… Ever since Big Bro gave more power to parents, instead of teachers - professionals who are trained to TEACH your children. I have several family members in education and the amount of horror stories is endless. We have teachers who either a) suffer in silence and develop a plethora of psychological conditions or b) convert from full-time teachers to part-time flexi adjunct. Parents, all we ask is for you to PARENT your kids early on appropriate behaviours. Good luck, SG.
In my country, this would not happen. Dare a child become rude to a teacher, let alone to an adult, and he'll get a lesson of a lifetime from the parent and worse from his grandparents. Korea has this bully culture that young kids emulate, its astonishing to know it exists.
Parents needs to step up and discipline their children. Otherwise they will grow up abusive as well as make teachers quit thereby putting at risk their children's quality of education.
This kid is the perfect definition of a declining education environment from home to school and even the society. Lucky us Africa, elderly respect is still a duty for us !
Well, this case isnt only happening in korea but most of the countries. Traditional disciplines is now considered as child abuse. These brat disrecpectful kids are over protected by the child protection policies and spoiled by their parents. GOOD LUCK TO THIS FUTURE GENERATION!
To be fair, the overprotectiveness from the modern South Korean parents were resulted from being abused by teachers in the past. Corporal punishments left a scar and they know how much it affected their mental state in the long term. South Korea's corporal punishment back in the 70s-90s were at different level than the ones in SG. It even caused deaths or permanent injuries before. This is why some South Korean parents in modern days became overprotective. However, their overprotectiveness and new laws protecting students resulted in teachers being abused by bad eggs in school.
This is a glimpse of a bigger problem guys. What’s wrong with the Korean culture? What is wrong with modern Korean parenting? This is obviously the fault of parents.
Discipline, kindness and basic moral values start from home. Parents should teach their children good manners and right conduct before letting them go to other places.
Consider this : Enact a law to protect the innicent teachers. If the stydents physically hit the teachers or members staffs of schools, then both the parents of that particular student will be held responsible legally. The iatents can be fined, sentence to imprisonment snd the students send to rehabilitation centres. ### Parents cannot blame the teachers if the students cannot enter top universities. Students must learn to study effectively themselves. Teachers are just navigators to guide the students but the students must do all the hard work in studying. Parents must accept this fact
I'm a foreign teacher here in Thailand and students and parents here have high regards and respect to teachers ❤❤❤ I hope teachers in South Korea would experience the same 🙏
Thank you so much to all my dear students whom I have taught for 19 years. 99% of you have been such a joy to teach and such an inspiration for me to keep on loving my job. I just realized how lucky I am to have very good and dedicated students whenever I watch videos like this. I wish all teachers in the world will be as lucky as me too.
I am not surprised that this happened, as nowadays parents often have just one or two children and tend to mollycoddle them, only listening to their perspectives. Recently, I overheard a conversation between a parent and her daughter. The mother asked, "Is Mdm Koh afraid now? Why didn’t you use your phone to record her?" She also inquired about her daughter's chemistry teacher. The daughter replied that the teacher didn’t teach much and instead asked them to solve some questions on the board. The mother commented, "Such an easy life." From these conversations, it is evident that the mother only listens to her daughter and possibly harbors some prejudice or trauma from her own youth that causes her to dislike teachers. The mother is imparting the wrong values to her daughter, and yet nothing is being done about it. Why are there signs indicating that one cannot abuse customer service workers, including bus drivers, but not for teachers? Are teachers not human too? This situation reflects a downfall in values and society if it is not rectified.
It should be the Parent's RESPONSIBILITY TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILD! Who would want to be a teacher if they're treated this way! I will never tolerate my child behaving like that. Very disrespectful. If they behave this way while young, what more when they Grow up?
I didn't realise this was also happening in Korean public schools. What I can tell is that this kind of abuse is more prevalent within Korean hagwons. Not only from the students but also from hagwon owners who literally push their Korean teaching staff members off the cliff. Yelling at them every other day for an hour at least, so bad that everyone on the street can hear the yelling while the Korean teacher just sit there defenselessly crying.
I have met a few teacher record themselves teaching. They got HR's permission to do this. They used the schools/county's cameras and had it record their classroom all day long. Admin use the recording to show the parents' how their child behaved in class. The sad part is that the parents still refused to allow their child to be punished. At the beginning of the next school year, some of the parents brought signed legal documents that stated that their child cannot be recorded and can't have their photo taken.
This is sad. I understand being there for your child, and protecting them but what a disservice it is to your child to not hold them accountable for their actions. Who cares about the low birth rate! Raise your children to be model citizens and to be respectful. There should have cameras in schools for the teachers safety and the children safety. Also, so the parents can see how disgraceful their child can be.
Why no corporal punishment? Your drama series should stop showing people of higher status or more senior slapping those they perceive to be of lower status or more junior.
@@natenate88 I think what they meant was children/minors who had unalived themselves due to great pressure and stress from studying day and night to obtain good results in schools and admission to good universities.
@@havensohn3821 Nonsense. Children weren't dying at the hands of teachers. Korea is becoming more like Western cultures: all about me and disrespecting elders. Korea is going down (increased crime) if they don't do something about this.
Parents acting this way in South Korea have nothing to do with the low birth rate. It has to do with parents having no respect for teachers but also, they want their child to get into a good school or university, if they have school violence or misdemeanours on their school record it looks bad for their future. Also, these parents refuse to accept if their children are poorly behaved because it reflects badly on them and their ability as a parent, so they continuously overstep the mark. Parents should never have the phone number of the teacher and all complaints should always be to the head teacher. It should not take a teacher taking her life for things to change
This should be easy to solve, hear me out... 1) the school authority sets the rules. 2) should the student break the rules, same exact or equivalent punishment should be met out to parents i) student leaving school with no permission - parents will be docked the same day's wages. ii) student slapping or being physical with the teachers - authorities will instil same punishment to the parents iii) student disrupting class - authorised someone to disrupt the parents work, bonus points if the parents is having meeting with their superiors at that time.
These are the few things I can think of right now, feel free to add more!
SO does this mean Korean school dramas are real then? the way the parents control the school administration, puts pressure on teachers , and rich spoiled brats bullying poor and introvert helpless students
That’s assault. I don’t understand, if the parents are so invested in their children’s education, then wouldn’t they want their kid’s teachers to teach students to stay in class and be respectful?
It’s up to the parent to teach their child what is and what is not acceptable before going to school, school is a place of learning no your personal day care.
It is essential to ensure that teachers are provided with a safe and supportive work environment. If parents are unable to trust and support teachers in their efforts to educate their children effectively, they may need to consider alternative education options for their children.
Slapping a teacher?! In my times, I’ll get thrown out to the street by my own parents for such disrespect!
Exactly!!!
lol my teacher used to have a wooden paddle when we were in elementary school; safe to say no one tried slapping her in the face.
Me too my parents might blow me from earth if I ever did this (coming from a 08 born)
Our teacher even throwing eraser board and chalk if they caught us talking in class... Some teacher used stick on us
In america these kids beats teachers.
Getting bullied by a child as an adult is such a weird experience
Yep. And most times, there's almost nothing the teachers can do about it. And this is becoming a global problem in recent years.

I'm one year in and already planning my way out of the industry because doing this for more than 2-3 years...yikes.
Agree
Very true
This is definitely a parent issue, I worked there for years and the parents would call the schools and threaten if their kids failed exams. The parents would demand the school change their kid's grades. The parents are worse than the students.
Liberals.
'how can bad come out of good ? Bad only can come out of bad.' 🤡
kids who never got told “No”
Often these kids are raised by nannies who can't say no to them.
@@wiffleyA nanny has zero interest in not saying no! Not to mention that you really think that they use nannies in that country? Even if they do, the parents still spend more time with their kids than the nannies!
@timmytee734 obviously, you know nothing about Asia and nothing about nannies in Asia, where they are just low-paid servants.
@@wiffley I've been working as a nanny in NYC for over 15 years and I have never ever seen an Asian nanny not being super strict with the kids!!! And South Korea isn't the USA, where a lot of families have nannies! Also never heard such nonsense that nannies spoil kids! You know what most nannies complain about? That the parents come home and the kids turn into little unrecognizable monsters because the parents spoil them! They are well behaved until mommy or daddy comes home. I never had kids under my watch who didn't listen to me, but the same exact kids scream and roll on the floor when their parents are around. You know why? Because they don't want to deal with parenting! Look up on any nannies forum or just in general why kids listen to their nannies but not the parents! The answer is always that the parents rather give them everything to keep them quiet instead of parenting.
Love and consequences is what a child needs but that's a lot of work and too much for parents!
I was an English teacher in Korea for 3 years (I just returned to my home country at the end of February). I experienced this first hand. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through as a person. I asked for help many times but with the language barrier and my Korean co teachers being young, no one listened to us until it was too late. My last year was the worst. I had students threaten to kill me, kill their classmates, and kill themselves for being told no or to stop hitting their classmates (including with crutches). I had a student pull a craft knife on another kid. Kids kicking doors, breaking windows, and throwing chairs because they were told they needed to use an eraser. Others throwing basketballs down stairwells from the 4th floor. Pushing teachers, swearing at teachers. Their homeroom teachers had given up because they were fearful of the parents, so did the school administration. After I came home I decided I never wanted to be a teacher again (something I had wanted to do my whole life and did 5 years of post-secondary school for that costs tens of thousands of dollars). I felt so lost (and I still do a lot of time). I was diagnosed with PTSD and I'm working on it. I'm going back to school for a new career at almost 30 years old because I cannot walk back into a classroom as a teacher after what I went through. I love Korea and Korean people but my experience teaching there was a nightmare. And I am well aware that many Korean teachers feel hopeless and lost and they struggle getting any change. But there is a whole group of foreign English teachers who are also struggling with no support. As a native English teacher, we can't attend any protests or we can be deported. We have no union, no support, many of us face a language barrier, and we are often overlooked and forgotten.
I taught in Korea for a year and did not renew my contract. Korea is really flawed and crap under the wrapper of kpop and k dramas. It’s nothing like its squeaky clean fake image.
I have heard nothing but horrible things from teachers who taught in Korea. I used to teach in Thailand and there were a lot of annoying things like no breaks and having to do things outside of my job description but no abuse or bad behavior from students and parents. Thai culture respects teachers, they just need to pay us a lot more and not overwork us.
I taught in South Korea for three years too. Thankfully, no child tried me but some were loud and I had to yell at them. And one boy twisted a Korean teacher's arm and she cried and I came in and yelled at them and demanded they apologize. Being a teacher is hard and draining and the administrators placate the parents and don't stand up for the teachers. Had to get them in line as well. Guess I was aggressive or fighting for and demanding respect?
Those K-pop dramas are really true then , not a fiction, it just reflect how their live ….
Like which drama? @@maryphil5391
Parents nowadays treats teachers like maids or servants to their children
Mostly korean parents
That's why in Korean there's lots of bullies movies/series
Movies portray it because it happens and then kids see it in movies and copy it.
It's an endless circle
Can u imagine the kind of teenager that boy will be. I feel sorry for the poor girls that he will date and probably treat horribly. Then that teenager will become a man and imagine how that will go? The parents should be ashamed.

@@nelsonloo4779 I don't think so because in South Korea rapists get out easily so this is nothing

Scary
Poor girl? Chances are the women might be simping for him in few years.
The child should be expelled from school. And the parents should pay compensation to the teacher for damages done to his or her self respect.
I’m a teacher in Singapore; taught for more than 15 years and in 4 schools; just left the service and I concur it’s not easy to teach nowadays;
1) new generation of students that are so coddled by their parents that each little complain from their kids will have parents ring school up, and demand unreasonable explanations and apologies when it’s not even the teachers’ fault.
2) New generation of Principals and bosses (middle managers); the younger ones: scholars who are high strung in their pursuit of making names for themselves that they tend to always concede to parents’ demands rather than protect teachers dignity at times especially those at better schools and workload has increased significantly because every school is trying to outdo another by having niche programmes etc or unnecessary additional programmes that teachers always have to be part of; when it could be outsourced . They also treat Teachers for granted and we are replaceable anytime even after all the work we put in.
3) it’s inevitable that if education and discipline is not imparted properly at home by new generation of parents who treat teachers like day time nannies then future is bleak for even Singapore
4) Did I also mention students are getting more and more entitled
I agree. The Ministry of Education have failed badly when they don't empower the teachers to do their job properly. Ministers and principals should not pander to parents complaints. Complaints should be handled by the school's Discipline committee, without Principals interference.
I hope Singapore student is not going down the same road
If Singapore is screwed, the world is screwed.
I'm a parent & I agree with you on points regarding students.
Parents can be a real pain for teachers and schools.
Virtue is also lacking in today's world.
Too bad Teachers in the past tend to abuse their Power and inflict unfair punisments towards Students which lead to the situation we have today where parents are more protective of their kids…
People say Asians are so respectful, kind, shy and conservative but that’s the total opposite. They’re just like everyone else. Don’t let the k dramas fool you people.
Only South korean there have about mindset and so racists society
Contrary to the west, perhaps. I get the k-drama part, but Asia is a whole continent. Then again, most people think it's only Japan, China and Korea. sad.
??? ANY RACE can be the total opposite of how they are portrayed.
I guess things changed but why? Probably social media influence!
But Asian not just Korea, China and Japan.
You can’t pay me enough to teach this generation of kids
Amén!!!!
Yep, thats why I quit teaching
discipline is not child abuse.
imagine getting harrased physically by a child that are 30 years younger than you but cant fight back or even tell the world about it
thats the definition of hell. hell on earth
😢
the fighting back bit is wrong, however i understand what you mean, there should be greater teachers protection and the parents should be pursued legally for their Childs actions.
kid must be a privileged kid...parts of korea is still corrupt...so either his parents are giving huge sum of endowments to the school or they have some political influence...who knows...dude, the United States is more sensitive on issues pertaining to child abuse and if we did anything close to what that delinquent child did, number 1, the cops would be called, number 2, ACS might be notified to investigate the environments of the home to rule out any suspicion emotion neglect or trauma, number 3, that child would face suspension and a mark of delinquency BRANDED on his permanent record.
Who says you can't fight back??! Shiiiiiiiid
🤣
아들 국제적 스타로 만들었구나 어리석은 부모 같으니라고
The lack of discipline at home.
Now my pitch to you:
I am building a community of women where we do girl chat and talk about things like this along with basically ANYTHING.
We can talk makeup, clothes, heights, relationships, hair, hairpins, school, goals, dreams, nightmares.
Give our opinions, give advice, share cooking recipes, share your angers, your hurts, your fears, your loneliness, your wins, your losses...
Women all over the world are welcome.
Even if you can't speak English, you can tune in with closed captioning in your language so you can follow what's being said, you can make comments in your language and we can translate it for ourselves, each user, I mean. I really believe every woman can participate. We can reach inside ourselves and transform from the inside out.
I especially would like to talk to you Korean women about this and what's going on in your country.
Please think of joining because it will be transformative. Join not only the girl chat lives (when they start), but also subscribe. When you subscribe, don't forget to turn on your notification so you can know when the lives start.
You no longer have to suffer alone. You no longer have to suffer the crushing self-doubts and even worse, the loneliness. Social media has made the whole world accessible and that includes WOMEN worldwide. I want to show you the power of YOU, woman, and what's possible...from, by and BECAUSE of you.
It will start going live on Weds 9est, that's NY time. Please also comment what time will be best for you bc I understand everyone will be coming from a wildly different time zone. Until we can get moderators, we will have to find a central time that works for everyone.
If you also prefer to email suggestions, questions, etc, send it to ghossupgurls@gmail.com
Even the parents might be in fear of child abuse
Who are these parents? Why don’t they teach children to respect their teachers instead of blaming teachers? This is terrible.
Liberals.
Slapping a teacher .. such a shame the students and parents should be ashamed of themselves
They learn this kind of disrespectful behavior AT HOME, and it's a trend for parents to not parent their kids anymore. They give them iPads, and let them do whatever they want.
I’m an only child with overprotective parents but i know my parents will never side with me if I ever disrespected a teacher.
Your parents have common sense 👍🏾 common sense isn't so common anymore
I thought this was only happening in the USA. I quit being a teacher last year because of the bad behavior of students, low pay and dealing with parents who thought their kids poop didn’t stink.
Bad and irresponsible parenting leads to that kind of situation
Nah that kid is parentless 💀
@@fluoroantimonicacid4844 Nah spoiled kids with “loving (entitled) parents” are just as audacious
@@fluoroantimonicacid4844 True parentless children are generally timid and shy. Because in any negative situation, they have no one to rely on and the kid is very well aware of that. What you're seeing is a spoiled brat made from spoiled brats.
so teachers are being harassed by parents, if that's the case then don't accept them in school. let the parents teach their own child.
They poor teachers. They study so hard to get to university, pass, and get a job. Then they face situations like this. It’s endless.
@@naturediscovered just teachers in general. You got music teachers in the US singing opera pieces without any mistakes just so they can sing “the wheels on the bus” to some kids or teach about quarter notes
Same here in the US !! Top 3 reasons people are leaving Teaching and VERY FEW are in Teacher Training Programs #1 - LOW pay and A LOT of WORK #2 Student Behavior ( No consequences ) #3 Parents!! We're expected to have Masters Degrees and attend ENDLESS meetings and " classes". Yet EVERY OTHER profession which requires that level of education will continue to experience salary raises , while ours flatten after 10 years However the VERY WEALTHY can always pay for expensive private schools . Which is why nothing will change in the near future if at all It's really sad and infuriating
not only teachers, healthcare professions too. would rather change job because of such feeling entitles people 😢
@@WorldTOURrificYes, health care is even worse but the only good thing is they get paid better than teachers do.
I was an English teacher at a private school in South Korea in 2008-2009 and am very surprised to hear of the challenges teachers in S.Korea are experiencing. When I was there, the students were all expected to be very respectful towards their teachers, and it was my experience that all of the students were. I'm a teacher in Canada now and have seen a massive rise in behavioral and emotional challenges in students since I began a decade ago.
Private schools are stricter than public schools
imma lose my job if a student does that to me.
jail for me, if that happens
Sadly in korea they cant resign as they want
The one suicide case happened coz the school refuse the teacher resign (maybe the teacher fear about recommendation letter) and another case is even after the teacher resign and go to military and work in other place, the parents of the student still complain to him
Even until the day and time he died they still send text and voice message complain to him
This poor teacher say to his family how he so afraid to pick up his phone, he felt in invisible jail coz of it
Korean just have crazy culture when it about bullying
@@vonn2221 that is soooo sad :(((
😂 I'm get deported
I’d be jailed too.
What the boy did to a vice principal shows the values he has at home. When I go out, my parents always tells/reminds me..what I do outside that is against the rules means showing the values I have at home. In short, never put your parents in shame for not teaching their children the good manners and right conduct particularly RESPECT TO ANYONE REGARDLESS OF STATUS.
If this was the 70/80s, such manners will not be tolerated.
I have to disagree. In the 80s one of our schools had a group of students who bullied the principal, students and the teachers, driving motor cycles in the hallways, even tied up the principal and noone could stop it. They had no support, not even from the police. 😳
Even in 90s.
@@lotta7235 Wow, where was this?
@@upstar21tprobably from Hollywood movies😂
i graduated highschool in 2016 and none of us were like this. but i do remember in my last year me and my friends would genuinely be shocked at how disrespectful some little kids were and how their parents even saw other students like us as people who should serve their kids.
Parents should be held accountable for how their children behave. Only shows how Korean parents has big impact on their children. So sad.
As a parent it’s our obligation to teach our child a good behavior,, be kind , be respectful…
I used to be a teacher in the U.S. I wasn’t ever beaten by a student, but I’ve been talked back to and coughed on during the pandemic.
I agree talk back is common my friend is a teacher in Philadelphia but overall she gets along with her students unlike lording it over her former students in West Africa she discusses issues with her current students
How would these little boys survived the compulsory military service when they turn 18?
They will find all sort of excuses to escape mandatory military service
He obeys people overpower him, and still, bullies weak people (who can't hurt him). That's what a coward do
They feign depression to get discharged from NS. Two of my nephews got away with it and they claim the same for their friends. Parents these days just turn a blind eye to bad behaviours and refuses to discipline them or let them suffer consequences.
It depends things will either be worse and the bullying will continue or they’ll be “whipped into shape” or they themselves will be bullied and harassed and their spirit broken. The amount of horror stories some soldiers have upon release after finishing their enlistment is scary at best and crazy to say the least.
They will use "mental health" as a way to wriggle out
My son held another boy back from hitting another student. He lost his job over it and even though it went to court and was considered not child abuse but a protective act, he still was not ever able to teach again. These students were five years old. To this day, it has never been removed from his record. The red flag remains. This happened in Provo, Utah, USA.
Crazy right? Im a parent myself its not OK for a kid hitting another kid! those entitled kid and parents thought bullying other kids is FINE, but if the bullied kid fought back the entitled family would think no this is not ok ! Crazy parents crazy kids
Are you kidding? Kids fought here in the US when I was a student and the teachers stopped them. The teachers never got in trouble.
Shame the parents
When I tell you that these children wouldn't last a day if they were in a African's child's shoes I meant. The level of disrespect that kid has is outrageous.
Wow..how dare a young child abuse an adult like this. it won't stop there. no norms and values. spoil your children parents!! These kids become narcissists or murderers
This situation triggers your heart for the teachers who suffer the abuse. Huge blame to the parents for cuddling bad behavior, and the government for not doing their job of protecting teachers from abuse and retaliation. So sad.
I live in Korea with my husband and taught English for a verrrry short time because the kids just did not listen to me. They just yelled and messed around the whole time, not even listening to the co-teacher who spoke to them in Korean. Every day I had only 1 class by myself, and no matter how loud I spoke (which the head of the school told me to just speak louder and louder to the kids so they would listen), I had to call in another teacher to help me control them. Kids fighting, yelling, crying, running around. All of the other foreign teachers talked about how much the parents didn’t discipline their kids and we were responsible for it. They have so many teachers who quit every year because of it and I was a replacement for one them. The parents too just blame the teachers. Now I just tutor English online instead. Mind you, this school paid not much more than minimum wage but those parents paid A LOT for that school and had us to do after school (basically daycare) which was way worse. Kids with behavior problems that literally had to be taken out of school. Although, I’ve heard this happening in the US too lately in some schools. 😬
IN the USA, teachers are pushing to add cameras into the classroom to prevent he said she said situations. Schools are loosing teachers faster, than they can replace them. Now, some USA public schools give students a good grade for showing up (but refusing to do any work) just to get them graduated because the admin don't want to tell the parents their child can't graduate. Teachers are told they cannot discipline, and cannot reward students anymore bc admin is afraid to face the parents. I met a few teachers (got permission through HR) to record themselves teaching to show the parents how their child behaves in class. Parents in the USA threaten to sue all the time
@MultiDarkAngel91 tbh cameras in the classroom would fix a lot of problems. The principal and parents can see their kids if they act up and they can see also see if a student like a special needs student is being mistreated by teachers. (I've seen a lot more stories of that happening in recent years.)
It could also capture bullying.
@@MultiDarkAngel91 Yesss, I talked to a teacher in the US who taught middle school and that’s the first time I heard something similar. He was told to pass the kids, even if they didn’t do anything in class just to get them through school. I didn’t realize until then that was happening and that the parents were part of the problem.
Same in our country
What was the age of students you were teaching?
Let me say this First Off these "Today Kids" are Out of Control!! As a preschool teacher here in Texas I can tell you that it starts at home!! When parents don't enforce guidelines and boundaries Or principles with their kids and allow them to get away with that Bad Behavior!! Then naturally kids assume they can Do That With Any Adult!! Being an Educator/Teacher has become the Most Toughest Job in Society!! If it wasn't for the love I felt for working with children then Perhaps I should have taken a job working in Construction 🏗️ at least I won't be scrutinize or penalized for Doing My Job😮!! I wish all these Teachers/ Employees all the Best in getting some type of Relief or Comfort in this matter🙏🏽
You lay hands on a teacher, you get expelled. Do they not do that in Korean schools?
They DON'T do that in the US !!
in korea is very impotant that the kids dont get expelled, it can damage the kids image in the future... so parents bully the teachers to avoid that and bad grades for their kids. the root problem are the parents not the kids.
@@sarahtiferet9025 They do that in the UK. I thought America would be the same.
@@awkwardniqaabi I believe it depends in the US. If the child is from a middle/upper class family, they usually are not (as they have the resources to push back), but if the child is from a lower class family, they will. It would seem Korea is similar.
@@awkwardniqaabi they DO it in the US don’t listen to that comment. If you lay hands on a teacher sometimes you even get charges pressed on you if you’re in high school if the teacher chooses to.
We are doomed globally if parents worldwide are raising kids who are entitled. What happens when they are adults? Will they be working adults?
This is disturbing.ill not be surprised if when this kids grow up they'll end up being a bully .this is parents fault. So ironic that parents wanted their kids to be in school but doesn't want them to learn even the basic respect
Wow, I am surprised this isn't just a US issue. I assumed the Asian cultures had more respectful children and parents. I am so sorry for all teachers. It used to be, the threat of telling your parent of you misbehaving at school worked for most of us. The fact that parents are as bad as the students is heartbreaking. I think the parents with disrespectful children should have to teach their children themselves.
The parents of the child who slapped the staff should be fined and face shown in media. Very poor parenting.
In the PH we have a Values Education/Formation subject. They are also graded with their GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct). Everytime the teachers give out the report cards quarterly, they write down in the remarks section the kids' behavior. And they also talk to the parents about it and what the child needs to improve on. Then the parents followed up. So there is a partnership between parents and teachers for the kids' development not only with subjects and the grades but also for the entire well being of the child. So the child should behave accordingly.
sadly this won't be applicable in SK or other developed countries where parents are twisted and treat schools and teachers as slaves whose only job is to ensure their investments in their children are protected and prioritized
It’s true we have those in place back home in PH, but we’re still plagued by entitled parents and students.
The boy should be expelled from the school and sent to juvenile detention center.
I was asked to do a private language-tutoring session with a 5-year-old girl. Within the first 10 minutes, the child came over to my side of the table and slapped me on the back of my right hand as I was writing. She later accused me of pushing her because I had to keep blocking her with my left forearm. I told her at least 10x, "Don't touch me!" Then, when I would block her from molesting me, she'd say back to me: "Don't touch me!" It was so grotesque that I ended a 10-year relationship with the tutoring school, and refuse to ever do private tutoring again. It felt like I'd been set up. Fortunately, I am a woman, but if I were male, it would have been much more serious in terms of the child's accusations.
Parents have authority over their children at home while in schools , principals and teachers should have the authority over the students if they are not abusing their power. All students must know this truth or the country will collapse.
Philippines based teachers also experienced challenges from entitled parents and students who would not allow their kids to be disciplined. however slapping a teacher would somehow be not tolerated by the govt. Economically and demographically Ph is far different from SoKor, this new culture of tolerance on children misbehavior may have caused by a high western influence which is the biggest similarity of both countries.

Just stop teaching those ungrateful kids of ungrateful parents, let them teach their own kids and see how well they'll grow in a decade
I can say Singapore is slowly turning into this… Ever since Big Bro gave more power to parents, instead of teachers - professionals who are trained to TEACH your children. I have several family members in education and the amount of horror stories is endless. We have teachers who either a) suffer in silence and develop a plethora of psychological conditions or b) convert from full-time teachers to part-time flexi adjunct.
Parents, all we ask is for you to PARENT your kids early on appropriate behaviours.
Good luck, SG.
And the teacher didn't do anything on the spot ? That teacher is weak.
if your children are too precious to you, raise them properly.
Exactly and teaching kids are a big part of loving them.
In my country, this would not happen. Dare a child become rude to a teacher, let alone to an adult, and he'll get a lesson of a lifetime from the parent and worse from his grandparents.
Korea has this bully culture that young kids emulate, its astonishing to know it exists.
Parents needs to step up and discipline their children. Otherwise they will grow up abusive as well as make teachers quit thereby putting at risk their children's quality of education.
This kid is the perfect definition of a declining education environment from home to school and even the society. Lucky us Africa, elderly respect is still a duty for us !
That's why parents should say NO to their kids
Well, this case isnt only happening in korea but most of the countries. Traditional disciplines is now considered as child abuse. These brat disrecpectful kids are over protected by the child protection policies and spoiled by their parents. GOOD LUCK TO THIS FUTURE GENERATION!
To be fair, the overprotectiveness from the modern South Korean parents were resulted from being abused by teachers in the past. Corporal punishments left a scar and they know how much it affected their mental state in the long term. South Korea's corporal punishment back in the 70s-90s were at different level than the ones in SG. It even caused deaths or permanent injuries before. This is why some South Korean parents in modern days became overprotective. However, their overprotectiveness and new laws protecting students resulted in teachers being abused by bad eggs in school.
You're right. People should know about this. Ppl should start respect each other regardless who's older or younger so the cycle would stop
Sadly, this is a GLOBAL problem.
It is but I don't understand what happened.
@@davidazure1539 I'm not sure either. =(
What's wrong with the parents? Is that how they teach their kids? This is just bizarre.
"Spare the rod, spoil the child", even God says this is needed for personal growth.
This is a glimpse of a bigger problem guys. What’s wrong with the Korean culture? What is wrong with modern Korean parenting? This is obviously the fault of parents.
The shocker is that it is happening in an East Asian country. It defies logic.
As a teacher parents scares me a lot
Discipline, kindness and basic moral values start from home. Parents should teach their children good manners and right conduct before letting them go to other places.
That kid needs to be charged
Consider this : Enact a law to protect the innicent teachers.
If the stydents physically hit the teachers or members staffs of schools, then both the parents of that particular student will be held responsible legally.
The iatents can be fined, sentence to imprisonment snd the students send to rehabilitation centres.
### Parents cannot blame the teachers if the students cannot enter top universities.
Students must learn to study effectively themselves. Teachers are just navigators to guide the students but the students must do all the hard work in studying.
Parents must accept this fact
I'm a foreign teacher here in Thailand and students and parents here have high regards and respect to teachers ❤❤❤ I hope teachers in South Korea would experience the same 🙏
Thank you so much to all my dear students whom I have taught for 19 years. 99% of you have been such a joy to teach and such an inspiration for me to keep on loving my job. I just realized how lucky I am to have very good and dedicated students whenever I watch videos like this. I wish all teachers in the world will be as lucky as me too.
from being bullied by teachers, to bully teachers. korean society came a long way.
I am not surprised that this happened, as nowadays parents often have just one or two children and tend to mollycoddle them, only listening to their perspectives. Recently, I overheard a conversation between a parent and her daughter. The mother asked, "Is Mdm Koh afraid now? Why didn’t you use your phone to record her?" She also inquired about her daughter's chemistry teacher. The daughter replied that the teacher didn’t teach much and instead asked them to solve some questions on the board. The mother commented, "Such an easy life."
From these conversations, it is evident that the mother only listens to her daughter and possibly harbors some prejudice or trauma from her own youth that causes her to dislike teachers. The mother is imparting the wrong values to her daughter, and yet nothing is being done about it. Why are there signs indicating that one cannot abuse customer service workers, including bus drivers, but not for teachers? Are teachers not human too? This situation reflects a downfall in values and society if it is not rectified.
The new generation is raised by parents who did poorly in school and have a vendetta against teachers now
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Their Asian parents are not being good Asian parents. So disappointing.
These days real Asian parents are not strict like that meme. They raise their kids without any moral education
How rude this student is, no moral conduct. If this kind of student is rude on their teachers how much more you find out how rude their parents are.
It should be the Parent's RESPONSIBILITY TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILD! Who would want to be a teacher if they're treated this way! I will never tolerate my child behaving like that. Very disrespectful. If they behave this way while young, what more when they Grow up?
I didn't realise this was also happening in Korean public schools. What I can tell is that this kind of abuse is more prevalent within Korean hagwons. Not only from the students but also from hagwon owners who literally push their Korean teaching staff members off the cliff. Yelling at them every other day for an hour at least, so bad that everyone on the street can hear the yelling while the Korean teacher just sit there defenselessly crying.
The doctor stopped working in S.Korea and now maybe teachers will stop working there also
Yes, education and healthcare 2 important professions but are the most stressful.
I have met a few teacher record themselves teaching. They got HR's permission to do this. They used the schools/county's cameras and had it record their classroom all day long. Admin use the recording to show the parents' how their child behaved in class. The sad part is that the parents still refused to allow their child to be punished. At the beginning of the next school year, some of the parents brought signed legal documents that stated that their child cannot be recorded and can't have their photo taken.
This is sad. I understand being there for your child, and protecting them but what a disservice it is to your child to not hold them accountable for their actions. Who cares about the low birth rate! Raise your children to be model citizens and to be respectful. There should have cameras in schools for the teachers safety and the children safety. Also, so the parents can see how disgraceful their child can be.
This kind of training by parents is likely to drive the birth rate into even further decline....
Why no corporal punishment? Your drama series should stop showing people of higher status or more senior slapping those they perceive to be of lower status or more junior.

America is so different, my teacher would say “I don’t owe you nothing except an education” period, teachers are humans too!
America is also like this, except more teachers are leaving
This is an issue in America too. Many teachers are quitting.
Parents acting this way in South Korea have nothing to do with the low birth rate. It has to do with parents having no respect for teachers but also, they want their child to get into a good school or university, if they have school violence or misdemeanours on their school record it looks bad for their future. Also, these parents refuse to accept if their children are poorly behaved because it reflects badly on them and their ability as a parent, so they continuously overstep the mark. Parents should never have the phone number of the teacher and all complaints should always be to the head teacher. It should not take a teacher taking her life for things to change
Why cant the parents do the most sensible thing and discipline their child? Can they not see that it is their job?😅
When we were at school we respected a teacher as a second parent. These youngsters don't even respect their own parents that's why this happens
This should be easy to solve, hear me out...
1) the school authority sets the rules.
2) should the student break the rules, same exact or equivalent punishment should be met out to parents
i) student leaving school with no permission - parents will be docked the same day's wages.
ii) student slapping or being physical with the teachers - authorities will instil same punishment to the parents
iii) student disrupting class - authorised someone to disrupt the parents work, bonus points if the parents is having meeting with their superiors at that time.
These are the few things I can think of right now, feel free to add more!
this is crazy humanity is regressing
SO does this mean Korean school dramas are real then? the way the parents control the school administration, puts pressure on teachers , and rich spoiled brats bullying poor and introvert helpless students
In a nutshell yes. Sometimes even worse than what the K-dramas depicted.
That’s assault. I don’t understand, if the parents are so invested in their children’s education, then wouldn’t they want their kid’s teachers to teach students to stay in class and be respectful?
It’s up to the parent to teach their child what is and what is not acceptable before going to school, school is a place of learning no your personal day care.
It is essential to ensure that teachers are provided with a safe and supportive work environment. If parents are unable to trust and support teachers in their efforts to educate their children effectively, they may need to consider alternative education options for their children.
Bad kids equals bad parents. I said what I said.
If kids behaves like an adult, they should be treated as an adult
