I am pretty sure you'd lose your teaching lisence over slapping a student like that in my ...

Its korea. Have you seen their school bullying and suicºde rates?

Bullying between peers is different than abusing your authority as an adult lol
Even if children fight against another or kill someone they will not get punished the same as an adult in front of the law. Even if a kid starts hitting you, as an adult you can't just hit them back. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Or did teachers openly start joining the bullying in Korea with proof / several eye witnesses that they were involved? I could be not up to date but if that's the case then sure, sorry for being ignorant about law in another country. But over here see yourself never to be able to teach in your whole life if you get caught doing it. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Ya I know. I was just remembering that since it's Korea, it gets really bad, with cases where teachers even tho they didn't hit students directly covered for the bullies, or just pretend it never happened, making the suicide rating spike.

I could never compare the bullying in my country to the one in Korea, as you said, if such cases were discovered, forget their teaching license, they wouldn't be able to work almost nowhere.

Though covering isn't any better morally than doing the bullying itself. It is still not actively doing it, the teacher can still pretend to have not noticed which in the end will not be charged but that teacher in our webtoon literally slapped him in front of a whole class with there no sign of it being by accident or anything and from which in any normal class he wouldn"t be able to avoid responsibilty (though I feel the class will cover for the teacher... I just feel it will happen and it already pisses me off).

And I just looked it up, it has already been years since physical AND verbal violence is illegal in Korea now. Though a few decades ago it was indeed a common occurence. But nowadays they will risk their job (probably depending on the degree of harassememt / violence).

Btw, I meant physical and verbal violence by teachers against students in Korea being illegal, to be clear.
