"특수부대 출신 선생님이 참교육"...실현 가능할까? / YTN

[Anchor] As the drama 'True Education' gains popularity, concerns about real-life schools are growing. Various measures are being proposed, ranging from extreme remedies to the need for a change in public perception, but the key question is how much tangible result can be achieved after these discussions. Reporter Yeom Hye-won reports. [Reporter] A problem solver appears in a collapsed classroom. Students who have gone beyond misconduct to commit crimes, parents who habitually file malicious complaints, and teachers who leak exam questions in exchange for money are all subjected to 'True Education' through a 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' approach. The drama's popularity has sparked a debate in reality regarding the establishment of a 'Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau.' Ahn Min-seok, the Superintendent-elect of Gyeonggi Province, stated that he would form a dedicated organization and mentioned that there are many teachers with backgrounds in the Marine Corps and Special Forces who are willing to participate. [Ahn Min-seok / Superintendent-elect of Gyeonggi Province (CBS Radio 'Park Sung-tae's News Show'): If a strong person like Ma Dong-seok guides children well without using violence, wouldn't that be good for the children, good for the school, and good for everyone?] The emergence of such unconventional proposals is also evidence of just how difficult the situation is in schools. When the Teachers' Union surveyed approximately 7,100 teachers last April, 55.5% had considered resigning within the past year, with malicious complaints being the biggest factor. Over the past two years, the number of victims of school violence has more than doubled for elementary and middle school students, and increased 1.3 times for high school students. Although the Teachers' Rights Protection Act was enacted and punishments for school violence were strengthened following the Seoi Elementary School incident, nothing seems to work. The government maintains that a change in public perception is urgently needed, in addition to policy. [Cha Jeong-in / Chairperson of the National Education Commission: I wonder if a comprehensive set of policies alone is sufficient.] There are such deep-rooted problems that need to be resolved, and I think it is time for something tentatively called the 'New School Movement' to rise up nationwide.] Teachers and parent groups emphasized that the process must begin with restoring mutual trust, which has hit rock bottom. [Song In-soo / Co-representative of Education Spring: We plan to conduct a large-scale survey targeting parents and teachers. Using that as a baseline and starting point, we intend to manage whether the percentage increases or decreases each year…] While realistic constraints make it impossible to take punitive measures like in a drama, a sense of desperation—that we cannot simply stand by and watch helplessly—is currently penetrating our society.
