I'm not sure about S Korea, but if it's anything like Japan, the teachers are viewed more as being responsible for things like students missing class or getting in trouble. That's a lot of stress for a bunch of humans that they're not with 24/hrs a day.
I'm not sure how a teacher would be able to have that responsibility unless in a small community? Like unless it's a employee/boss relationship where there's a monetary incentive, how would they convince them?
Is it like social pressuring, where the fear of missing class would set them up for failure? Very interesting cultural viewpoint
