'Protect teachers' right to teach': Fighting abuse, suicide among South Korea's educators

I believe this situation, although may not be as abusive, is evident in Malaysian schools - parents show no respect for teachers today and the new Gen of children pick up the 'scent' from the parents on how they talk about the teachers at home. It's all about RESPECT. We must agree that Narcissistic characteristics are seen among students where manipulative ways to play the 'blame-game' is on the rise. It has become rampant that teachers are blamed for students' poor performances despite many teachers giving more than their normal teaching hours for students today. As someone from the Education Industry, I wish to advise parents to work alongside their children's teachers for effective learning..... before it does become too late for Malaysian teachers and parents. Much can be discussed on this issue/topic/matter.

SG private schools in are quite pro parents and don't manage the parents but expect the teachers to please the parents making it very difficult to do their job. matter of time this will happen in sg

Horrors...

I would like to strongly advocate that MOE has a school counsellor for teachers in every school. The counsellor is a space for teachers to decompress and also bounce ideas off to figure out how to work with students who are more challenging. Also, teachers need to be able to confide in counsellors without being penalised. Also, we should have teachers teach like in the past, and be supported by administrators who do all the other paperwork etc. if not the teachers are overstretched. CCAs should also be helmed by special CCA teachers. In this way we also create more job openings for new roles, we ensure teachers have proper balance and support so more of them stay on in their teaching career. Many start with enthusiasm and burn out or feel so broken by red tape. If we help our teachers, we help our kids because teachers who are in the right emotional and mental space to educate our kids mean our kids have better support academically too. I also urge parents to encourage their kids to have respect for the teachers rather than spoiling the kids rotten.

Educators in s'pore are well protected and so much more fortunate as compared to their counterparts in korea. Many thanks to the PAP govt.❤❤

teachers afraid of the power of spoiled rotten chaebol kids.
