South Korean teachers seek protection as Child Welfare Act fuels safety crisis

Teachers in South Korea have launched a petition, calling on the government to protect them in the classroom. They say laws passed after mass protests two years ago didn't go far enough. Those demonstrations were triggered by the suicide of a teacher in Seoul, whose death exposed the scale of harassment educators face from parents and students.
