Epilogue I hope this book will become a strong lawyer in my hands.

A must-read for a smart teaching life!

When I hear that a child has been reported for child abuse despite proper guidance, my heart sinks and my mind goes blank.
I'm so at a loss as to how to deal with this.
This book, "Stories of Protecting Teachers' Rights," provides concrete solutions through relevant examples to teachers who are struggling to continue their teaching careers on the front lines of education.
This will be a must-read for teachers and a useful book for creating a happy educational environment.
When you need help, even if it's just a straw, it will be like a strong rope that will hold you back.
This book explains not only violations of educational activities, but also child abuse, juvenile law, and school violence, and contains methods to protect teachers' rights, which are declining.

The author, attorney Min-seok Kim, has worked as an attorney for the Office of Education for a long time and provides detailed dispute resolution know-how to teachers at schools who are walking on thin ice due to violations of educational activities, reports of child abuse, school safety accidents, school violence, malicious complaints from parents, and secret recordings.
This book goes a step further by offering concrete legislative alternatives to the current, incomplete laws, demonstrating the author's profound insight.

This book is divided into four parts. Part 1: First Steps to Protecting Teachers' Rights discusses the definition, types, and countermeasure procedures for violations of educational activities. Part 2: Practical Strategies for Protecting Teachers' Rights presents solutions and specific countermeasures for responding to reports of child abuse and various legal issues that may arise in educational settings.
In 〈Part 3: Protecting Teachers' Rights in Practice〉, we will examine the criminal and administrative litigation precedents related to infringement of educational activities and the recently implemented revisions to the five laws protecting teachers' rights. In 〈Part 4: Completing the Protection of Teachers' Rights〉, we will confirm what we have learned so far through 15 problems and honestly present legislative opinions on the current incomplete laws.

"Teacher Rights Protection Stories" helps readers approach difficult legal issues in a more easy and fun way through various case studies, such as, "A student is injured in an accident at school. Is the teacher liable under civil and criminal law?", "What should I do if a parent secretly recorded something illegal?", and "A case reported by a parent as child abuse was closed as not guilty. Can I sue the parent for false accusation?"
