Elementary school students in Daegu imitate porn.

A group of elementary school students in Daegu were caught imitating scenes from pornographic internet sites and television programs, raising concerns about the ready availability of these materials and the lack of sex education programs in schools. (Update: The Marmot has a write-up with details here and tonight's Korea Times has the story here.)

In response, South Korea is expected to tighten restrictions on the issuance of E-2 visas. Misbehaving teachers came to the fore again a few days ago, when six non-E2 teachers were busted for drug offenses, to which a police official said:

"Most of them smoked marijuana in their home countries, and they also made by hand glass pipes to smoke marijuana here in Korea… As there’s a concern that they may have a bad influence on the students they teach, it’s necessary to strengthen screenings into prior drug-use records when E-2 visas are given out.”
