‘Fear of facing students’: South Korea teachers grapple with high rates of abuse and suicide
  • As someone who taught at all levels of the South Korean school system for about fifteen years, it's not that bad. Teachers are way way more respected than in American schools.

    Kids are generally happy up until second year of middle school then the admin tightens the nuts on them and forces pretty rigorous testing. Schooling shifts from a more western style school to basically spending all day every day learning to do well on the college entrance exam. It's pretty soul crushing for students and teachers. They really just have to replace their college entry exam with something that can be taken more than once a year. That would solve a lot of problems with the system they have in place.

  • When the 'ㅅ' symbol is used in the last spot of a character, it become a 't' sound. 'ㅌ' is usually used as a starting 't' sound in a syllable and 'ㅅ' is usually used to end a symbol. If you want to make an 's' sound at the end of a word, '스' is usually used.

  • A Small Group in South Korea Has a Big Homophobic Agenda
  • Life is certainly tough on students, but their lives are getting better. There's no longer corporal punishment, so no more slapping physically for the past ten years. A lot more laws protecting them from overwork. This is an opinion piece that leaves out a lot of important information, such was what region these bylaws were being cancelled in (small, conservative area). While that might suck for some kids, it's not nearly as widespread as the article would have you believe. These Christian sects see the writing on the wall and are putting a lot of effort to try to spread their dying hate and they're mostly failing at doing that.

  • A Small Group in South Korea Has a Big Homophobic Agenda
  • Half of South Koreans have no religious affiliation and only about twenty percent of Koreans are of Christian faith. Young people are especially non religious. It's certainly not getting worse. The old folk nut job Christian cults are just the loudest. Lived in Seoul for fifteen years and rarely come in contact with anyone pushing their religion other than in touristy areas.

  • Donald Duck doesn't wear pants and, being a duck, his penis is corkscrew-shaped to allow him to navigate duck vagina mazes. Therefore, Goku must be getting slapped up with a duck tumor.
