As Joo Ho-min, who accused his son's special education teacher, is on the cutting board, attention is focused on whether or not he will appear on 'Ramen Kkondae Summer Camp'. 'Ramen Kkondae Summer Camp' is scheduled to air on August 4th. Kim Poong, Lee Mal-nyeon, Joo Ho-min, Panny Bottle, and Kwak Tube are depicted enjoying a camp together.
Although it was a one-episode broadcast, controversy erupted and attention was focused on Joo Ho-min rather than the broadcast itself. It is a situation where the original planning intention of the program is inevitably diluted, regardless of whether it is edited or not. Inside the broadcasting company, it is said that they are struggling with whether or not to edit this issue.
It was in September of last year that Mr. A reported a special teacher. Mr. A's wife brought the autistic child, Group B, to school with the recorder turned on in his bag, and the recording contained the contents of the special teacher's annoyance in the process of stopping Group B's behavior.
Speculation continued towards Mr. A, and Joo Ho-min directly revealed his position. He said, "In September of last year, my child was separated from a special class due to unexpected behavior and received education in a special class all day. From the day of the incident, he continued to express very anxious reactions and fears that were different from usual, and refused to go to school." said.
"Due to the nature of children with developmental disabilities, who are in the second grade of elementary school, it was impossible to communicate accurately, and there was no way to receive information about the situation because only children with disabilities were taught in special classes, but it was necessary to confirm," he explained.
Regarding the recorded content, he said, "It contained a situation that was difficult to see as simple discipline, and I was greatly shocked, but first of all, I sought external advice to determine if there was a problem from an objective point of view, not a subjective judgment."
Joo Ho-min consulted with 5 lawyers and the child abuse officer at the Yongin Police Station. He said, "I wanted to solve the problem at the school level, but as a result of inquiries to the education office and the school, in the case of emotional child abuse, it is difficult to replace the teacher by the education office's own judgment, and it is possible to take action only according to the results of the investigation by the judicial body." I received it,” he said, “after thinking about it, I reported it to the police.”
Regarding the situation at the time of the recording, the special education teacher explained, "In order to understand the expression 'the habit is very nasty', 'the act of lowering the pants to the victim during class is a nasty act'." Because of this, student A explained that he could not meet his friends and eat lunch with them. However, this was only to emphasize that the same thing would not happen to the student again, and I swear that there was never any intention to abuse the student emotionally." did.
A situation where some parents even submitted a petition for teachers. Netizens showed reactions on the day, such as "While the son's school violence incident was packaged as 'sudden action', the teacher's discipline is abuse?"
Some are saying that since the results of the trial have not yet come out, we should remain neutral. Still, he said, "I hope the recording will be made public."
Like Joo Ho-min's report, whether it's child abuse or discipline is only known after the trial results come out. As the issue of 'infringement of teaching rights' is a hot potato, more attention is paid to the trial results.
