The older teachers tend to live in the old Confucian mentality, which upsets westernized and younger parents.

Well, the pendulum has swung the other way from the time when pupils weren't supposed to walk on the shadow of the teacher out of respect. Then again, I remember that there were some bona fide nut-case teachers in high school and they were able to get away with what can only be called "abuse" because of the respect for authority (teachers in this case) that the culture demanded. Lately I have heard of the trend to the other extreme, and it must have gone to the point of necessitating legislation. Well, too bad that we cannot legislate things like common sense, civility, and respect. I know it's not a laughing matter for those involved, but the article does read kinda funny :-)ykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409262473521197052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746748686244495382.post-36027792718024216622009-07-23T16:36:52.244-07:002009-07-23T16:36:52.244-07:00I don't know, but I think that maybe it's ...I don't know, but I think that maybe it's time to sign up for tae kwon do. :)Amy Beneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145555012331115690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746748686244495382.post-24332643968685357102009-07-23T11:34:14.806-07:002009-07-23T11:34:14.806-07:00Yikes!
