The protesting teachers, who have rallied for weeks, say current laws make it difficult to exercise control over their classrooms and leave them at the mercy of overbearing parents, who could easily accuse them of emotionally abusing children.
I know next to nothing about Korea, IIRC they have a similar work and educational culture to Japan: you leave after the boss and competition for education is extremely high. Coupled with a cost of living crisis, it reduces the will to have children or start relationships. I’m not sure if it’s Korea but didn’t the prime minister say something along the lines of they should stop complaining and make children?
Anyway, I might be mistaken (and probably am) this problem likely stems from the highly competitive educational environment. You want the best for your kid and will try very hard to remove any obstacles, because even small hindrances might have a huge impact on life afterwards.
