Teachers across the country have been protesting for weeks, demanding more rights in the classroom.

    Some teachers also want parents who make false accusations of child abuse to be penalised. Kim Jin-seo, a 28-year-old teacher who first spoke to the BBC at one of the protests, said the new law would not stop unfounded reports of child abuse, because without repercussions, parents would continue to maliciously accuse teachers they did not like.

    And that’s the point. People are assholes, especially when it comes to their crotch goblins.

    As long as they don’t have to worry any kind of legal blowback, they will continue with that crap.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The protests erupted after the suicide in July of a 23-year-old primary school teacher, who had been dealing with complaints from parents.

    Teachers claimed the culture of malicious complaints had left them unable to teach or discipline their students.

    The union expressed its “deepest gratitude” to the teachers who took to the streets eight weeks in a row, demanding better conditions, and said today’s achievement was down to their strength.

    In recent weeks, the government and local authorities had already brought in a series of measures to protect teachers and make it easier for them to do their jobs, but none legally binding.

    New government guidelines, introduced earlier this month, stipulate that teachers are allowed to remove disruptive students from the classroom and restrain them if necessary.

    Academic achievement is considered the best marker for success, meaning students compete fiercely for the best grades from a very young age to get into the country’s top universities.
