Teachers change the world and our children

Recently in Seoul, an elementary school teacher died by apparent suicide in her classroom, with claims emerging since that she had been dealing with a belligerent parent. The deceased teacher was a 23-year-old young woman who had just begun her career as an educator. In another elementary school in Seoul, a sixth grader beat up his female homeroom teacher, whose injuries will likely take weeks to heal.

Embarrassingly, violent assaults on teachers by students and parents are becoming common these days. According to the Ministry of Education, the number of teachers physically assaulted by students or parents increased from 172 in 2018 to 361 in 2022. The report that more than 1,000 teachers were victims of physical assault in the past five years disheartens and appalls us.
