  1. Strange. I had thought that South Koreans valued their education and teachers more highly.

  2. Im afraid that the poison that we see in the west is spreading. People like to call us Christians "crazy"when we say that we are in end times. Do y'all need any more proof?

  3. Just like the customer is correct always. Teachers should act like the parents are always correct and the kids are always correct. You are always wrong. I am a teacher and I do that and parents and kids are happy. I get a salary at the end of the month.

  4. The world is going to run out of people willing to be teachers and then what will it do? (it being the world)

  5. The problem is those in the far east have a fetish for suicide. The Japanese are thy worst they still have the samurai culture, so suicide is no big deal to them.

    The parent has a right to complain, this is a country like japan that turn a blind eye to bulling, it is worse than that they encourage it because they think it makes you stronger.

    If the teach was a male and was accused of touching a female student, I can sort of see the panic.

  6. I Truly am surprised America teachers aren’t on a Nationwide strike with all the School Shootings.

  7. How can you be protected from yourself? Put you in a padded room??

  8. Education has supplant and superceded basic daily wisdom.

  9. 🪤🤦🏾‍♂️

  10. Civilised country people doing uncivilised thing

  11. THAT PARENT NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL.

  12. there were actually 3 more teachers that ended their lives for a total of 4

  13. They are truly organized. Americans, take note of how it’s done.

  14. As Samsung say – "CUT YOUR EYELIDS!!!"
    Thank you!

  15. In addition to better protection laws it could be possible to give students, teachers, and parents more options to succeed so there's less stress on everyone…one way could be through a Netflix-like streaming service of all educational material that is priced on a sliding scale in an effort to ensure quality education for all of humanity – some of the earned money could go towards tailor fitting each student's unique educational needs, to take better care of teachers, and to help parent's become their potential…another could be by giving people the option to generate electricity and data through cardiovascular exercise which could be used as a commodity to improve education, raise quality of life, and lower cost of living.

  16. Most respectful protest I have ever seen.🥲

  17. The moment any protesting group blocks the roads like this is the moment I care less about what they are protesting.

  18. I thought in east Asia, they do not protests like the west because they do not want to rock the boat. So to me this is new, they must have a reached appoint, where they could not hold back any more.

  19. How would schools protect their teachers against parents? Ban parenthood?

  20. Teachers, most important people in our lives next to parents! Aways under paid & never given appropriate credit! Next, first responders police, firemen, medical staff…! Let's work with them, because we need them!❤️

  21. Why can’t Americans come together like this smh
