A personal anecdote. I have a friend who teaches English in South Korea. He teaches at a private Academy, and the administration is terrified of the parents. The students openly mock teachers, hurl racial abuse at those of color, without fear. Disciplining them risks drawing the ire of the parents, who blame the school and therefore the parents withdrawing their kids from the academies.
