    I’m Korean and I’m really curious where did you get this story. In 2021 turnover rate of teachers is South Korea was less than 3%(only for reasons other than retirement).

    “Night run”, which I’m assuming you’re talking about 야반도주, was just unheardof to me at least. I have never, ever heard about that happening. So I got curious and dug more and found out that a lot of non-Korean (mostly English language) teachers run away.

    The article is about Korean teachers so I don’t think that applies here but yeah. Work environment generally is shit here. But schools and teachers in general are quite well funded and all. It’s just that there is absolutely no safety guard to the teachers in regards to abusive parents and extra-shitty kids. Plus obvious overworking that, to be honest, teachers are very much far from being the worst, not that it’s objectively fine.
