Three Teacher Groups Petition for Acquittal in Joo Ho-min Son Abuse Case

Three teacher organizations have submitted a petition to the Supreme Court asking judges to acquit a special education teacher charged with emotionally abusing the son of webtoon artist Joo Ho-min. The teacher is awaiting a Supreme Court ruling. The groups argued in their petition that the use of a secret recording in the case damaged trust in educational settings. The petition, joined by groups including the Korean Federation of Teachers’ Associations, has again highlighted the issue of trust among teachers, students and parents in classrooms. The Supreme Court’s decision is expected to affect related discussions. Source: mk.co.kr
