Cases of teacher abuse often go unreported due to reasons like fear of retaliation, lack of support, and cultural norms that discourage them from speaking out.

    Wow I ignorantly assumed this was an American problem. I feel better/worse knowing that it isn’t.

      The state of education in South Korea is so unbelievably worse than everywhere except actively war-torn and oppressed countries. It’s really, really sad.

      Several years ago, I considered teaching in South Korea and just a cursory glance at the education industry there immediately turned me off from ever wanting to try.

        That’s incredible. I didn’t know that, as a American.

        All I thought was Korea’s youth were filled with happy-go-lucky kpop young adults who are a lot more self-sufficient individuals than Japan’s youth.
