Principal beats teachers for leaving early from get-together
/ Yonhap
A female principal of an elementary school in Gangwon Province kicked and pushed over teachers for leaving early from a get-together in a karaoke bar. In response, Gangwon Provincial Office of Education dismissed the headmistress from her position Thursday.
According to insiders, the school faculty went on a retreat to Jumunjin in Gangneung, last Friday and later moved to a karaoke bar downtown after a workshop.
However, the majority of teachers left in the middle of the gathering, and the principal burst into a rage.
“How can they leave, when principal is still here?” she purportedly said.
The principal went back to the camp and attacked the teachers.
When she realized the situation had gone too far she apologized, but the teachers refused to work with her.
“I felt bad and angry because we were like family at school, but they refused my calls and left the karaoke without notice. I didn’t hot the teachers out of hatred or ill will,” said the principal. “I’ve sent apology text messages to those who are not answering my calls."
