36.2% of Jeonnam parents give "gifts" to teachers.
That's according to a survey of 1,660 parents done by the The Anti-corruption & Civil Rights Commission. Jeollanam-do trails only Gangnam, an affluent district and dare I say a hub of expensive private education in Seoul, for the area with the highest percentage of gift-giving parents.

And I just get soap. I hear about the good ole days when parents gave foreign teachers scotch.
I just get socks and soap--if anything.
I feel like Charlie Brown on Halloween.
Let me get this straight. This survey is saying that tens of thousands of parents in any one city or district are regularly bribing teachers and, by inference, thousands of teachers are accepting bribes. But its us barbarians who are often described as ethically unfit to be teachers by Korean parents and educators? Amazing.
You don't understand the Korea. You don't have jung for your student.
