Coporal Punishment in South Korea with Eng sub

The 'whip of love' has been used for 'educational' purposes in South Korea for hundreds of years - until footage of a primary school teacher assaulting a pupil was released on the internet.

Kim Yeoung-Hwa, an educational writer and former teacher believes stringently in corporal punishment "to say that you can teach a student without it is wrong", she claims. After a recent incident where a teacher used a powerful blow often seen in martial arts movies, officials have been forced to ban the practice. However, many teachers and parents are fighting back - arguing that without corporal punishment, there will be chaos. Others say that South Korean society is changing and that education must change with it: "giving orders and beatings are no longer appropriate", says Principal Lee Breom-Hee, an advocate of the ban. His students seem to agree with him - "being hit, being forced to do things...I don't want that", one student concludes.

Shaking or pushing children or hitting them about the head is dangerous and unacceptable. But beating them on the buttocks is beneficial as part of a disciplinary system, I hope they don't ban it.

@lunchbox455 More than embarrassing it's a sign of a tragically low class people. For all this "necessary-for-learning" corporal punishment I have never known Korea to be respected as a country of really intelligent people. After seeing this vid I believe South Koreans are a lesser people - shame on them and their perverse ideas.

Do the South Koreans think it's ok to cane and humilate a child when the child has learning disabilites?

I wish they would do a follow up story on this subject.

How quaint...a nation of low-testosterone, pot-bellied cowards trespassing on and doing violence to their weak, frail children. Embarrassing.

@limdongcheol If you have to ask that question I suggest you go back to teacher training college and re-do the class on student management and control tactics. I will concede hoever,that if proper behaviour is not instilled in the home before children reach school age then it is an upward struggle.

@suzannesadiiqa - like what? I've taught in some of the worst schools in the UK and if a students doesn't want to do something - including a detention or extra work - and they won't.

@xomgestherchoii No it hasn't. Daegu and many other areas can still use it.
