3:18Now PlayingTeachers in South Korea have taken to the streets to demand better protection at work from overbearing parents, after a 23-year-old primary school teacher took her own life.
A diary found in her apartment revealed that she had been bombarded by complaints from parents.
In the weeks that followed, more and more teachers have said they are frequently harassed by overbearing parents, who call them all hours of the day and weekends, incessantly and unfairly complaining.
Tens of thousands of teachers have rallied in Seoul, claiming that parents are exploiting a child welfare law passed in 2014 that dictates that teachers who are accused of child abuse are automatically suspended.
