Wow, they got a raw deal. In my country, the female teachers sleep with middle school students ( a few in the news, anyway!) |

Hmm.. food for thought captain. When I take things away I keep them in my pockets.
What's the Suwon thingy, Jack? |

He's talking about the student getting the heck beat out of her by a Korean teacher last summer. A kid recorded it with her handphone and it created an uproar in Korea.
I can post the video if you haven't seen it. I figured everyone had. |

If the parent or your supervisor confronts you about it, I think it's worth pointing out that as a foreigner teacher, you have no need for an electronic Korean-English dictionary. So why on earth would you steal one? Maybe from a Korean's perspective it's possible to view it as "stealable", but from a foreigner's perspective one doesn't really have much need for one. Especially if you already have a paper dictionary on your desk. |
Zuh? I use my Korean-English electronic dictionary every day. Some of us are learning the local language, and they do go both ways, you know. I'm not saying the OP stole it, but a foreign teacher living in Korea could want such a thing, believe it or not. |

| I'm surprised affluent parents would visit the school looking for it. Cellphones are expensive, but you can buy these things for less than $20. |

I give you an 'F' for reading comprehension. Show me where you can buy a 300,000 Won electronic dictionary for $20, and I'll buy you one for free while I'm there! |

I didn't realize the English-Korean translators cost so much more than the non-verbal $20 English-Spanish electronic dictionaries. |

Yes but that's not reason enough for the OP to go to the extreme of stealing one. |

| Of course it doesn't mean he stole it, or is there any reason the parents should suspect he did. But as a foreigner who uses an electronic dictionary every day, "as a foreigner teacher, you have no need for an electronic Korean-English dictionary" makes zero sense. |

Look nrvs (if that is in fact your real name) I think you should just give it back. There are two ways to go about this.
First, you could either slip it under your desk amongst the dust bunnies, make a student clean under there as punishment and be the one to make the surprise find. Or, you could slip it in another students bag and make a surprise discovery. Either way the heats off you.
I also suggest that you keep your sticky fingers to yourself in the future. |

I'm sure it was stolen by a Korean student, no matter how hard it would be fora Korean to admit. |

| I don't think the school is blaming him/her for stealing it so much as they are saying it is his/her fault that it got stolen. Am I wrong? |

| Is it NOT his fault though? He took it from the kid. Ok, I agree that he should have taken it. But once you take it, its your responsibility to keep it. Like rental car reservations. Its easy to take the reservation, the trick is to hold the reservation. A wise, wise man once said that. |

That's probably a better description of what's going on. Also - and I'm willing to admit I may be wrong on this - I have a feeling the OP should have been a bit more careful to ensure that said item didn't go missing, after it was confiscated. I've seen kids break down into tears when teachers have borrowed/confiscated an eraser, and then lose track of where they put the confiscated item. Especially when you're talking about a $300 electronic dictionary. |
