Teacher Caught Smoking E-cigarette in Korean Elementary School
A teacher in a South Korean elementary school was caught smoking an e-cigarette in the classroom, sparking parent outrage.

Recently, according to a report from Naver in South Korea, a primary school teacher in Wonju, Gangwon Province was caught smoking an e-cigarette in the classroom by students. After the incident was exposed, the school administration only issued a warning, which has sparked dissatisfaction among parents.

 

The smoking teacher, who is an interim homeroom teacher for the sixth grade, was caught smoking an e-cigarette in the classroom after students had left. The incident was captured on video by a student passing through the hallway and subsequently shared with parents. The school authorities have responded, stating that "appropriate action has been taken." The school administration explained that the teacher made a mistake in that particular situation and quickly expressed remorse.

 

In South Korea, schools have implemented strict no-smoking policies, imposing fines on anyone caught smoking on the premises.
