Yeah i know that SK got a lot of help from the big countries like US and the big guys, but in the 3rd's POV, its like big bullies playing aroind with wimps.
And what does getting hit by teachers have to do with destroying a whole country??
Russia or Canada destroying USA? Are u kidding me? No one can compete with the USA!! U Southkoreans should be grateful. We gave u Christianity, education, military & economical power. Southkorea culture based partly on the american culture. You southkoreans are nothing without us. I expect nothing but a "thank you" from u. We protect u from Northkorea, China & Japan. Never forget this in ur live!!!
@chinkEkorean i agree with your comment... that mohan778 is just your typical ignorant american who thinks you have to destroy a whole country because 2 people are badass over there....
Man if that went down in my high school that teacher would have gotten the shit beat out of him right then and there. And we would all get off for self defense.
Subconsciously, the parents themselves want to hide the fact that their child is being hit, even though they approve of it. They approve of corporal punishment, yet want to hide the marks from others. Logic.
Wow that's crazy, they need some education reform pronto!!! Between the corporal punishment and the high suicide rates it must be hard going to school in Korea. The chill principal at the end was nice though, they need more people like him!
omg the first teachers shocked me o.o but the last teacher was so cool with the students! i wish every teacher in s.korea was like that, using corporal punishment its so wrong :s now that a i see this, i think if when i get older and get to live in there, and have my child in a school i woulnd want that to happen with them..
yep and still they come to the US to get there kids a better place and still say punishment is required to educate a child yet they are the ones that are making the pressure and stress on their own children and blame something else that is irrelavent to the problem.
OMG when i saw the severe injuries of the kids butt i was really mad at the fucking teachers...they hit so hard too!!! in my school just scolding us wuld be enough and we would do better cos of the embarassment to be scolded in front of everyone
England's education is fine and we stopped corporal punishment ages ago (before I was born) although some of the students do smoke and drink in school times.
While I agree that students should be punished for behaving badly or not doing what they are asked within reason, I think that physically harming the children is wrong.
These teachers take punishment way too far. However, some form of punishment is needed to establish respect between teachers and students, elder and young. Here in the US is the perfect example of non-discipline in these two categories. There are a large number of established losers here in the US who were never disciplined in any way, attempting to raise kids, and this makes for a bad future. Already sons/daughters dump their parents when they grow old. This is what's bound to happen to most.
Omgee dude if someone was being hit like that in my class and like their was no law against it I'd fucking stand up for the kid and hit the teacher don't care if I get hit as long as the other kids okay.. And omgee the kids and the no hitting school looked more attractive than the ones at the hitting school LOL
I think these teachers go too far. Once a child comes home with black and blue marks, that means it's time to stop letting teacher's "punish" these kids.
Yike a number of those kids in that 'no hitting' school look like they need some sleep! Ok you can see it but they said turtors after school, it seems they get little time for rest.
All the ridiculous self-righteous whining and crocodile tear BS is hilarious. Perhaps Korea should be more like America where teachers have sex with their students and kids bring guns to school and kill their classmates and teachers every year with schools only graduating 50% of kids with the rest being sealed into a life of flipping burgers and welfare living. USA. USA. USA!
There has not been physical punishment in Finland for decades and yet we compete with the Koreans. I thought South Korea was like Japans but they seem to be much more closer to North than I thought.
@Nikotiini69 Korea actually ranks much higher than Finland in economic indicators and Finland has been getting their ass kicked by Korea for a while now. Samsung > Nokia
@heeki Now how does that have to do anything with school? Sure Samsung is bigger and better at the moment but so what? I prefer Samsung anyways, Nokia phones are good but Symbian sucks. Also Windows sucks. So untill Nokia makes Android phones, I won't touch it again. Still, punishment in Korean schools didn't make Samsung use Android, or better phones overall.
@Nikotiini69 Most Samsung employees would say that the discipline and work ethics embued in Korean culture is a primary reason for why Korean companies like Samsung are where they are now. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Going to fast food joint, or toll gate in Seoul comparison to NYC or LA is a world of a difference.
@heeki You can defend it all you want but the fack that people threat others with cruelty and disrespect reflects on your mentioning of NYC or LA. You probably are one of those lucky ones who have been cared for by American yet you insulting them. Shame on you!
@guynirnam 'cared for by American'?? LOL Are you stupid? What does 'cared by AMerican'??? WTF are you even trying to say? Americans HS's in large cities have graduation rates that hover around 50%. Korean HS graduates rates are 96%. Please STFU if you are ignorant on the topic being discussed.

@guynirnam I seriously hope you have years of higher education ahead of you with many chances to immerse yourself in other cultures. And find me a quote from my comments when I wrote, "that what happen in this video clip is to preserve to that those youth can stand tall in the world of education." Dumbass do you understand the difference between 50% and 96%???
@heeki Is word such 'Dumbass' used by a person a proud and refined education? Systematic Education may lead to decent employment and conceivable decent living condition but being adecent human being takes a whole lot more.
As for living in other cultures, I have lived and worked in Japan, Korea, China, Germany, France and US. But, I have no suggestion for you as you seem pretty much set on your own destiny.
@guynirnam 'Dumbass' is used by persons of refined education to describe idiots like your who ignore basic stats. US has systemic education and still suffers widespread 50% graduation rates. Recognize the fact that there are good and bad aspects of different cultures instead of being stupidly judgmental. The fact that you've been in different countries and still haven't learned this lesson isn't surprising at all given the culturally ignorant and obtuse stupidity of your comments so far.

Keep staring at the shadows on your cavewall dumbass.
@heeki There is no upside to beating children. Superior education, ethics, and the urge to be a productive part of society mostly come from a good parents. Violence inflicted upon kids should not be tolerated at all.
@heeki Oh yeah but you forgot the high suicide rate in South Korea. There's a lot of pressure and I don't think it'll improve society. No human being deserves to get hit or abused. It's not right. What these children need is patience, comprehension and love.
@RareAvengedSevenfold Suicide rates are a complicated thing. According to Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, countries with the highest life satisfaction rates also have the highest suicide rates. Erstwhile there is ZERO evidence to suggest physical discipline in Korean education system contributes to suicide rates. If you know of any please let me though.
@oldchicken2 Who knows. My personal opinion is that pervasive underclass exists in US bc violence was perpetuated to slaves and minorities for hundreds of years up until the Civil Rights Movement which only happened in the last 50 years or so and because the poor "white trash" phenomenon is endemic to US South and Mid-west with white women making up the majority of welfare recipients and being a general drain on US society. Is that better than Korean confucist ethics? I don't think so.
@heeki your reasoning makes no sense. the "pervasive underclass" exists in the us because of a history of violence and exploitation, but you're arguing that if they were beat in school this would improve the situation?
@oldchicken2 Besides, Korea has plenty of problems of it's own, with fairly widespread racism, the oppression of women, lack of rights for workers, the explosion of the plastic surgery industry, lack of social skills amongst the young, and the near homogenous belief that working for a company and having a cool cellphone are all that life has to offer.
@heeki This whole nationalist frat-boy game your playing is stupid. Every country has problems, and it's usually not a good idea to hit kids. There now, that wasn't so hard.
@oldchicken2 LOL nationlist frat-boy game? Projection much? Respect is a two way street. Don't hit your kids. East and South Asians will hit their kids. Results will speak for themselves. There now, that's not so hard is it?
If you allow the liberal ways of the West to infect your country, then you will soon find your little pupils will be growing up to occupy more vocal positions. Perhaps if this video were to contrast the crime rate of Korea with the UK or USA then maybe the Koreans would consider rod more valuable than sparing. A religious teacher in the UK recently received 10 weeks in jail for slapping students. Four men have been jailed for assaulting a teacher because they didn't like what he was teaching.
I feel sad for these students. But still, the school have to manage to show that the teachers require respect and diciplin. So the students can work good. But at the same time, I think that the opposite isn't better when the students throw chewing gum on the teachers and smoking marijuana on the school yard.
well, i think punishment is necessary, but not a brutal form that's shown in the beginning of the video. my mom hits me when i'm not behaving well, which at the time seems unfair, but then i realize why and i try refraining from doing the same thing.
Teachers shouldn't hits students as punishments. Bad behavior doesn't mean the student is bad person. Teachers should try understanding students problem. Example: Why students sleep in the class and didn't do homework? Do teacher know what happened to them? Try to solve how to make students interested for every subjects. Not all students are intelligence. Students get stressed cause of study all the time. They are not a robot so need some rest too.
well wow brutal in the caribbean they do corporal punishment differently and fair open their hands and give them 6 lashes with a belt i think its fair like if you?
I taught english in a korean public elementary school for 3 years and we used various forms of punishment. mostly physical exercise but sometimes we would take the ruler to the hands or more creative forms like squeezing the finger. it was painful until they began to tear up then we would stop. kids were generally well behaved. the eatings I witnessed were horrifying and certainly abusive but their are other ways of punishing to make your point with out leaving physical and emotional scars.
@tjobtjobtjob I seriously hope for your sake that you are not saying that the total size population is why there's a percentage disparity in HS graduation rates.Holy crap that would a truly stupid.
@heeki yeh ok there buddy. you are stupid for not getting my point. let me explain it to u.
if a country has a 1billion population and produces 10% HS graduates, they will have more HS graduates than a country that has 100million population but produces 50% HS graduates.
so stfu, education is education, don't matter how you get it. your grades dont mean shit about your knowledge/common sense, it just shows how interested you are and how well you can manage your time.
@tjobtjobtjob You are a moron extraordinaire. No wonder you think 'grades don't mean shit.' That's why you still don't understand the concept of percentages. LOLOLOLOLOL.
@heeki I was a straight A student...grades do not mean anything...we have an outdated educational system needing revision. However, those who don't give a shit about their own education whether it's learning plumbing or becoming a lawyer with ivory league degree will even struggle to understand the word "concept" and to apply them fruitfully in everyday living.
@tjobtjobtjob No it doesn't stupid. Total population just means you have more people graduating w/o a hs degree. Please tell people that you are French.
@tjobtjobtjob A select few westerners have been brilliant and made our lives easier...you have equal credit in western inventions as well as Korean inventions...that is A BIG ZERO my friend. Don't take credit and get all happy for what's not yours. Discipline yourself.
@orllamas1 WTF you on about? my comment was a reply to the other guy...
and trust me, the education system in the western world is perfectly fine.
Not everything is about science and math...
look at the world's film industry... Hollywood is like on the top. The arts and music of western cultures influence others due to the technological superiority.
when you have a choice in education you tend to make it further whereas if you are forced into it, you will hate it more.
@tjobtjobtjob "lets see how many things korean people invented in the last 100 years that impacted the world?": LOLOLOL The countries that register the highest number of patents are 1 Japan 2 Us 3 China 4 Korea. Considering that Korea has the lowest population of the four, per capita Korea is kicking ass. That's how you use "per capita" correctly. It seems you might have benefited from some whip of love beatings bc you're stupid as a brick.
@tjobtjobtjob Idiot compaining about inventions when you don't even understand the concept of percentages... LOL. Congratulations for showing us internet stupidity at its best.
why can't the teachers just discipline them mentally and get them motivated? show students the importance of trying your best, consequences, and learning about behavior and respect. if they choose to not try and neglect school work, let them know that they choose their future, but don't abandon the student entirely. make the lesson interesting, show students your personality, and make them respect you genuinely.
@Xentradi97 No, ass whoppingis not the issue in America, its Gun control laws. Get it right. If you enjoy getting your lil korean ass whooped then so be, but dont come here bitching about gun contal laws.
@Caziegirl No you get it right, failure of American educational system isn't gun control. It's lack of discipline in school and at home by the family. Gun control is not an educational problem but a social problem. I studied in both system. Have you? I know the pros and cons of each system personally. I'm not defending Korean educational system. It's no where perfect and has problems it needs to resolve. But American education? Purlease... You have no right to point fingers.
Korea is a nation is in the process of change. Lot of residuals from military dictatorship and method of control remains still and it's no longer working and causing more harm than good. Korea is in transition and no doubt this is just one of the area that needs to be worked out. While those western educated may frown upon the this, what you see in video are extreme cases. And I'd rather have that than going to public schools in the US where I risk danger from other students and gangs.
I love asians, special koreans...But just for THIS video they aren't so bad. This is not just here, it can well be in what ever country! Just search.... :"/
yes I know it's really cruel ... I mean punishment is really wrong !! ><
but there is a small number of teachers who punish their students.. not everyone ... I mean if you would have watched the whole video then you will understand ...
I'm a really huge South Korea fan and I think you should blame the TEACHERS (who punish the pupils) and not everyone else -.-
Okay, this type of corporal punishment might be a little harsh, and they should instead maybe rap them lightly on the knuckles or something, but just look at the schools in america- kids cursing on the bus, talking everywhere, etc.. etc..
Hey now I'm Korean. Not all Koreans are bad people. I don't agree with this type of action. No need to say that all Koreans are assholes, just a few of them. It be like saying Americans are assholes. And we know that's not true
Those people don't know what corporal punishment really inflicts on students. If they believe that it is an essential part in educating people, they are absolutely wrong. Their mindset is merely based on the past wherein they themselves had to be punished that way, but shouldn't they try to understand from the students perspective? If they've experienced these things why can't they understand the pain in it? This is not a way to discipline. This is merely child abuse...
In Finland we don't have that but we're still considered to have one of the world's best education programs, right up there with South Korea. It's amazing how different our systems then actually are...
This is such a divisive issue - but remember that this debate has been raging in education for many decades now. Personally, I think some of the people who condone such actions are simply child-phobic. The issue lies more with us learning to better communicate with our young - something we are abysmal at in the West on average. This is the ideal that we should be pursuing, encouraging love and understanding not violence, against weaker people.
@zinakan Overseas migrant workers are beaten, mistreated and abused everywhere in more developed countries where they are in demand. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, etc... this isn't new. And will not go away tomorrow or the day after. Korea's no where perfect. At least it's being addressed.
Those teacher who beat up a stundent are all Coward trust me one of the teacher beat the crap out of my friend when we was 10 years old the teacher fuking broke my friend noise and my friend parent was pretty mad his mom/dad secretly kidnap the teach and beat the crap out of him......the next day the teach nv dare to beat any stundent.
@fantapants well i lived pretty much all over East and South East Asia i can tell you that among the Chinese, the Koreans, the Thai, the Lao, the Cambodians, the Vietnamese, the Filipinos and the Japanese, i'd say the most polite people are the Japanese. You may say what the Japanese did during WWII but now they've changed, their whole mentality changed and they're pretty much pacifists.
@fantapants Although the Lao, the Cambodians and the Filipinos are nice and polite, they can still show their a lil part of their indiscretion but that's ok compared to the way the Koreans and the Chinese and Vietnamese behave in public areas such as in restaurants, hotels, markets and even on the streets. Always shouting and talking loud, not always paying attention to the environment surrounding them. And that's why i'd say that among the East Asians countries, the Japanese are the most polite
I worked in SK for two years recently,teaching English in Hagwons. Let me tell you something, if it was a foreign teacher this would be a whole different story!! No way would the principle or the parents be defending him and saying that it's just standard punishment. It's the fact that it was a male Korean teacher in a public school that he is just being suspended. They can have up to 60 kids in one class and kids just learn to expect punishment if they do something wrong. Obviously these teach
if they're gunna have corpral punishment, they should outline exactly WHAT form of physical action, and for SPECIFIC causes that the students had. So that there is no room for debate.

that guys a fucking ass if that was an America he would be in jail or someone would had kick his ass. thats not how you punish little kids hes a fucking bully
In most parts of the world, child abuse is frowned upon (in addition to being you know, illegal), but korea is still stuck in the 14th century. It's mind boggling how little parents in this part of the world seem to care about their children. Their only care in the world seems to be that they get good grades.
It's not just korea. Anyone remember those medieval camps that parents happily send their kids off to in china? And it turns out that their solution to "internet addiction" is abuse.
I had a teacher who tried to slap me. so I punched him in the face, and he was fired.

@heeki Oh yeah but you forgot the high suicide rate in South Korea. There's a lot of pressure and I don't think it'll improve society. No human being deserves to get hit or abused. It's not right. What these children need is patience, comprehension and love.
RareAvengedSevenfold 1 month ago
@RareAvengedSevenfold Suicide rates are a complicated thing. According to Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, countries with the highest life satisfaction rates also have the highest suicide rates. Erstwhile there is ZERO evidence to suggest physical discipline in Korean education system contributes to suicide rates. If you know of any please let me though.

@oldchicken2 Who knows. My personal opinion is that pervasive underclass exists in US bc violence was perpetuated to slaves and minorities for hundreds of years up until the Civil Rights Movement which only happened in the last 50 years or so and because the poor "white trash" phenomenon is endemic to US South and Mid-west with white women making up the majority of welfare recipients and being a general drain on US society. Is that better than Korean confucist ethics? I don't think so.
heeki 4 weeks ago
@heeki your reasoning makes no sense. the "pervasive underclass" exists in the us because of a history of violence and exploitation, but you're arguing that if they were beat in school this would improve the situation?

@oldchicken2 Besides, Korea has plenty of problems of it's own, with fairly widespread racism, the oppression of women, lack of rights for workers, the explosion of the plastic surgery industry, lack of social skills amongst the young, and the near homogenous belief that working for a company and having a cool cellphone are all that life has to offer.

If you allow the liberal ways of the West to infect your country, then you will soon find your little pupils will be growing up to occupy more vocal positions. Perhaps if this video were to contrast the crime rate of Korea with the UK or USA then maybe the Koreans would consider rod more valuable than sparing. A religious teacher in the UK recently received 10 weeks in jail for slapping students. Four men have been jailed for assaulting a teacher because they didn't like what he was teaching.

I feel sad for these students. But still, the school have to manage to show that the teachers require respect and diciplin. So the students can work good. But at the same time, I think that the opposite isn't better when the students throw chewing gum on the teachers and smoking marijuana on the school yard.

Teachers shouldn't hits students as punishments. Bad behavior doesn't mean the student is bad person. Teachers should try understanding students problem. Example: Why students sleep in the class and didn't do homework? Do teacher know what happened to them? Try to solve how to make students interested for every subjects. Not all students are intelligence. Students get stressed cause of study all the time. They are not a robot so need some rest too.

why can't the teachers just discipline them mentally and get them motivated? show students the importance of trying your best, consequences, and learning about behavior and respect. if they choose to not try and neglect school work, let them know that they choose their future, but don't abandon the student entirely. make the lesson interesting, show students your personality, and make them respect you genuinely.

It's no where perfect and has problems it needs to resolve. But American education? Purlease... You have no right to point fingers.

Korea is a nation is in the process of change. Lot of residuals from military dictatorship and method of control remains still and it's no longer working and causing more harm than good. Korea is in transition and no doubt this is just one of the area that needs to be worked out. While those western educated may frown upon the this, what you see in video are extreme cases. And I'd rather have that than going to public schools in the US where I risk danger from other students and gangs.

Those people don't know what corporal punishment really inflicts on students. If they believe that it is an essential part in educating people, they are absolutely wrong. Their mindset is merely based on the past wherein they themselves had to be punished that way, but shouldn't they try to understand from the students perspective? If they've experienced these things why can't they understand the pain in it? This is not a way to discipline. This is merely child abuse...

This is such a divisive issue - but remember that this debate has been raging in education for many decades now. Personally, I think some of the people who condone such actions are simply child-phobic. The issue lies more with us learning to better communicate with our young - something we are abysmal at in the West on average. This is the ideal that we should be pursuing, encouraging love and understanding not violence, against weaker people.

In most parts of the world, child abuse is frowned upon (in addition to being you know, illegal), but korea is still stuck in the 14th century. It's mind boggling how little parents in this part of the world seem to care about their children. Their only care in the world seems to be that they get good grades.
It's not just korea. Anyone remember those medieval camps that parents happily send their kids off to in china? And it turns out that their solution to "internet addiction" is abuse.
