Teacher who smoked e-cigarette in elementary school classroom, school only issued a ``warning'' = South Korea

Children found their teacher smoking e-cigarettes in an elementary school classroom, sparking criticism from parents.
According to JTBC on the 30th of last month, on October 25th in Gangwon-do (Gangwon-do) and Wonju (Wonju).
Teacher A, a temporary worker in charge of sixth graders at an elementary school, smoked an e-cigarette in an empty classroom after school. The teacher's behavior at the time was clearly recorded on the cell phones of the children who witnessed it.
In the video that was later released, Teacher A was seen sitting in front of his desk and smoking. When parents learned of this fact, they told the public through Kokumin Shinmungu, ``It's not just one or two children who have seen this. It's not even the first time.
It seems like this is not a case that will be ignored.''The school only responded, ``Teacher A has been administratively punished by the school principal.''
However, the school did not take any special disciplinary action and only gave Teacher A a "warning".
It turned out that he was under. Regarding the reason for only giving him a ``caution,'' the school said, ``It's not that he hasn't done anything wrong, but that it was just one mistake,'' and ``He also regrets it.''
” he said. Teacher A also explained that she had always struggled to provide guidance on the daily lives of the children. The children's position was slightly different from the school's explanation that it was a "one-time failure." It only happened once
That is not the case. One child said, ``I could smell it all the time, so when I heard that people smoked, I thought, ``Is that the smell?'' and felt uncomfortable.''
Smoking in schools, which are non-smoking areas, is subject to fines. According to Article 9, Section 4, Item 6 of the National Health Promotion Act, the entire school, including the ground, is a non-smoking area.
If you smoke in violation of this law, you will be fined up to 100,000 won (approximately 10,000 yen). After the media interviews begin, the school will report Teacher A to the public health center and receive a fine.
It was revealed that he would make it happen.
