| Quote: |
An organization of parents in the Suwon-Osan-Hwaseong area announced on August 19 that its survey of 200 middle and high schools from May 14 through August 17 found that 179 of them had no tissue in the student bathrooms.
In May they demanded that 226 middle and high schools make public their procurement costs for student toilet paper, but just 200 did so.
Of the 200 schools, 30 claimed to provide toilet paper for students.
Of those 30, nine were found to have made false claims.
Also, four schools had intalled vending machines for students to purchase toilet paper.
Of the 21 schools which provide toilet paper for students, five had just one roll of toilet paper for all the stalls rather than individual rolls in each stall.

The Gyeonggi-do Office of Education had agreed in 2009, when it signed an agreement with Korean Teachers and Education Workers� Union, that �the city offices of education will be encouraged to install tissues and handwashing facilities in every bathroom and cafeteria in the schools� (article 43, clause 4).
Lee Chang-yeong, head of the parents� organization, said that �we don�t understand how schools can requrie students to purchase tissue when they have considerable procurement budgets, and therefore we are very upset� don�t they have to educate students properly?�

Last year they didn't keep TP in the teacher's bathroom on a regular basis because according to a coteacher; "The students will steal it."
This year, they don't have a foreigtn english teacher. |

| I always thought the kids have to stuff their pockets of tp at home before they leave for school for the day. Otherwise, they're using their hands. Which is it? |

soap is a problem as well. theft is the reason ive been given, by locals.
maybe, just maybe, if soap and TP (which are cheap as dirt) were available, theft wouldn't be a problem!?? but hey, what do I know? I'm just a genetically inferior waygookin. |

Nah, my school a few years ago was a brand new building. Nice western toilets, toilet paper in every stall, soap dispensers by each sink. The kids would clog the toilets, take the tp and throw it around the halls, throw the liquid soap on each other, etc. So they took it all out. Of course, then they started taking it from the teachers bathroom, so then we all had out own rolls we kept at our desks.
I have no problem with it. My high school didn't have doors on the stalls because of sex/drugs/fighting in the bathrooms. These kids want to ruin the nice facilities and waste things paid for with tax dollars (MY tax dollars) then screw 'em. |

My wife works at a public elementary school in Gyeonngi. They do not have TP in the bath rooms for the students OR teachers.
They are supposed to supply their own.
Too bad for the 5th grade kid who came into my wife's classroom with his pants around his ankles and his legs covered in diarrhea. Crying and begging for some tissue. |

They should just put up a bucket of water in each stall like they do in Indonesia. |

My school only supplied it in the teachers bathrooms (in Suwon, same area as the study).
I can't imagine what the students did... I don't want to imagine. |

| Have you ever been in a school that had a pink eye epidemic? Or maybe some other health problem? Could this contribute to it? I'm just asking; I'm not a doctor. |

| Over the summer I've had to frequently take tissues out of home rooms to be able to wipe my arse. What a joke |

I happily supplied TP at the hogwon until I kept finding it waded up on the floor and so much in the toilet it would be blocked up. That was it!  I took the TP out and kids get to come ask me for 2 whole squares at a time. |
