It was discovered that behind the extreme choice incident of a part-time teacher at a private elementary school in Seoul, which became known last July, there was verbal abuse from parents, such as saying, “I will make you eat beans and rice.”
The Public Interest Reporting Center of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education held a press conference on the 15th to announce the results of the investigation into the death of Mr. A (28), a part-time teacher at Sangmyung University Elementary School. The Office of Education stated, “The deceased complained of mental distress due to excessive protests and threatening comments from his parents, and we believe that the resulting depression led to his death.” Some of the parents who threatened Mr. A refused to investigate with the Office of Education. The bereaved family is considering filing criminal charges against the parents of the perpetrator.
Mr. A, who died, had been working as a second-grade homeroom teacher at this school since March of last year. It was her first place of employment. This school disclosed the teacher’s personal cell phone number to parents. From March to June last year, Mr. A received more than 1,500 parental contacts. There was a lot of trivial content, such as preparing textbooks. There were also parents who contacted more than 10 times a day. An incident occurred in early June last year in which three students harmed one person. Even though the content was minor, the parents of the perpetrator overreacted, calling it ‘biased handling’. According to the bereaved family’s legal representative, the parents reportedly contacted the deceased and shouted, “I won’t let you teach,” “I won’t let you go,” and “I’m going to report it to the police.”
As the parents’ verbal abuse and threats continued, Teacher A became ‘mentally ill’. In mid-June, he was diagnosed with depression due to extreme stress. In my diary from December last year, “It’s natural that I have no strength. This too shall pass. It was very difficult and lonely. you are amazing Spring day will come. “You are a competent elementary school teacher,” he wrote. In a messenger conversation with his relative, he even used the expression, ‘Should I kneel down and apologize?’ And he made an extreme choice in January of this year. The school did not provide much help during this process. It is said that all one teacher did was call the parents of the offended student. There is also an analysis that because Mr. A was a temporary teacher, he was in a more ‘protective blind spot’.
This investigation was promoted after the bereaved family of Mr. A demanded an ‘investigation of the truth’ at a press conference held by the teacher group regarding the ‘Seoi Elementary School teacher death incident’ last July. On this day, Mr. A’s father said, “I did my duty to the country, but why can’t I protect my daughter?”
