A freshman teacher in her 20s committed suicide inside the elementary school where she taught. The teachers’ union said that the dead teacher suffered from complaints from parents while working on school violence, but the controversy is growing as the school side says it is not.
First, look at the report by Choi Ha-eun, and let’s address the suspicions surrounding this case one by one.

The candle is lit.
Chrysanthemum flowers are also placed.
[Memorial: My daughter is also a school teacher. It didn’t seem like anyone else’s work. (She also has a daughter) She is currently on leave.]
In the morning, the wreaths were packed full of condolences.
The number of letters written by children and school teachers increased.
On the 18th, a teacher at this school was found dead inside the school.
I am a new teacher who first joined the church last year.
This year she has been in charge of the first grade homeroom.
Police believe her teacher made an extreme choice on her own.
There was no will, but as a result of checking the diary she left behind, she explained that there were no malicious complaints or other sufferings related to school violence.
The school made a statement on the morning of the 20th that there was no problem at school.
She explained that the teacher was not in charge of school violence, and that she applied for her homeroom job.
However, the bereaved family asked for the truth to be revealed.
[Uncle: Whether it’s the so-called abuse of power by parents, malicious complaints, or excessive work stress, what does it have to do with this death… ]
Teachers’ unions also demanded an investigation into the truth.
[Kim Yong-seo/Chief of Teachers’ Union: Some investigative agencies continue to drive this case as a personal matter.] The Ministry of
Education and the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education explained that the police will investigate the cause.
I am in elementary school now, and there are so many chrysanthemum flowers piled up스포츠토토.
You can also see a lot of funeral wreaths sent by colleagues.
The school gate next to it is full of post-it handwritten letters from mourners.
The space behind me now is a temporary incense burner.
People dressed in black continue to come and go.
In the afternoon, some citizens who wanted to go into the school to pay tribute and the school to stop it had a brief scuffle.

Looking behind reporter Choi Ha-eun, there seem to be a lot of people. Have you heard the story yourself?
[Reporter]
As a senior and as a colleague, I saw a lot of messages of consolation saying that I am sorry for not being able to be with you.
Hear it for yourself.
[Jungeun/Elementary school teacher: I came because I was sorry that I couldn’t help and that this situation was repeated. There are times when I feel like I have to endure this feeling of humiliation.]
[Anchor]
But why did you make an extreme choice, and the exact reason hasn’t come out yet?
[Reporter]
The exact cause is still unknown.
As I told you earlier, the school only said that the various allegations raised were not true.
As the bereaved family said they wanted to find out the truth, it seems that a police investigation will be conducted, but it is more important than anything else to find out what the exact cause is.
[Anchor]
Now that a lot of people are gathering and watching the situation, we’ll have to wait and see the results of the investigation, but it looks like the wave will continue for a while, right?
[Reporter]
That’s right. Haven’t there been a lot of comments like this that the authority of the church has fallen to the ground?
Even so, we have to find out why this happened, and there are also loud voices that we need to take this opportunity to look back at the educational scene to see if teachers are properly protected.
