Yeah, and look at the fallout affecting so many of us from the CPN case.

Well, that school principal who was taking "upskirt" photos of a schoolgirl on a bus kept his job, didn't he?

Good. Let's see if the courts do the right thing.

For some reason, I just can't find it in myself to believe this clown hasn't done something, let's say, off in his entire tenure in the schools until now.

Of course it won't. Just like when a Korean teacher at a summer camp some years ago was falsely accused of molesting a girl student and a bunch of hagweon owners freaked out and warned/"advised" their foreign male teachers, the reaction is going to be warn and/or "advise" the wrong group of people, innocent people. Yet again. |

I must have missed that part.
My guess is he'll get his wrist slapped
and back to school on Monday. |

It says he was "removed from his position". That could mean many things. Disciplinary action - who knows what that means?
It could be that he gets moved to a new school or something or has to work an office job for a while. But knowing the history of how these things get handled in Korea, I suspect he will keep his job.
Where's all the Anti English Spectrum dudes now? How come they aren't
trying to round up all the adjoshis like the did with foreign teachers?

And they worry about foreigners?? |
They worry about foreigners because you can kick a foreigner out of the country. A Korean you can't. |

They can certainly kick a Korean out of the schools, public, private, and hagweon. Also, the jails in Korea exist not because of foreigners, but because of Korean criminals. |

CPN had an impact on foreigners. What this guy (Korea teacher) did will have an impact on his fellow teachers. This is unavoidable. You think Korean parents will not react to this? You think the school where this guy worked will not be the target of parental anger and that other teachers there will not suffer?
Lets stop this please, the guy did something horrible and will likely never outlive it. If you know ANYTHING (and you do) about Korean society, you realize his family has now been PUBLICALLY humiliated and how much this matters in Korea. The school has also been publically shamed by this and parents will not stay passive.
As for foreign teachers, the acts of a few tar the rest. I can remember teaching in Ontario before coming to Korea. A teacher on our staff was accused of harrassing female students. The accusations were proven false after a lenghty investigation. However, all of us suffered from this as parents hounded the school, asking for the principal to check the record of all the male teachers there. Parent-teacher meetings were sometimes pretty difficult. It was already something bad that many parents assumed teachers were lazy and lucky as they had their summers off. That spaked a lot of community tension. You think what this sick moron did will not have a similar effect on his school and on his co-workers? Think again! |

He was immediately removed, then temporarily released. Temporarily released from his position? Of course removal action was taken- there is evidence. I wonder what will happen to him. How much will he be charged? Maybe his life isn't necessarily ruined as his face was blurred. Maybe he will retire now or do something else. But yeah, I feel bad for all involved. |

No, temporarily released from police custody. Why would the police department have anything to say about his "position"? That is the Education Department's call. |
