Parents sue elementary school teachers for assaulting their children...Teacher, "I didn't hit you".

Education authorities have launched a fact-finding investigation after a teacher was sued by parents for hitting a student at an elementary school in Seongnam.

According to the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and others, on the 19th, the fourth-grade homeroom teacher of the school restrained Ms. B when she played with her friend somewhat severely.

Ms. B informed her parents that teacher A hit her in the process, and Ms. B filed a complaint with the police against teacher A for assault.

Teacher A claims that she "did not hit Ms. B" and has not taken sick leave and has not come to school since the complaint.

The provincial education office and Seongnam Office of Education are investigating the school and teacher A, leaving open the possibility that the issue could constitute an infringement of school rights.

If the educational authorities judge that it is an infringement of teaching rights, they can take legal action against both parents of B.

An official from the provincial office of education said, "Since teacher A is not coming to school complaining of trauma, we hired part-time instructors to guarantee students' right to learn and are considering providing additional 'we-center' personnel to the school."The

Wee Center is a place where students in crisis situations such as psychology and emotions are consulted at the level of the Office of Education and a healing program is operated.
