Get Schooled — Chapter 246¶
Complete Detailed Panel-by-Panel Transcription¶
Scope¶
This transcription follows the 32 ordered story segments embedded in the supplied Chapter 246 MHT, excluding its separate chapter-header image. Readable dialogue, public-petition text, protest material, arrest language, and policy announcements are preserved where legible.
Content note¶
The chapter contains physical assault, educational neglect, abusive graduate supervision, public shaming, malicious complaints, emergency arrest, and political reform.
Segments 001–004 — The police explain why Han Sunyeong is the suspect¶
At the police station, Han Sunyeong sits across from an investigator.
The officer tells her they have met frequently because of the many reports she filed against teachers.
This time, however, she is not the complainant.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS YOU’RE NOT A VICTIM THIS TIME, BUT A SUSPECT.
The officer identifies two possible forms of child abuse.
First, assaulting a teacher in front of a child can produce extreme fear and anxiety and damage the child’s social and emotional development.
Second, keeping a child out of school solely because the parent is dissatisfied with the administration may constitute serious educational neglect.
A child-welfare agency submitted an opinion supporting both conclusions.
Sunyeong protests that police are using the law against a mother who was only protecting her son.
The officer says she should have known when to stop.
Segments 005–009 — The childhood model Sunyeong vowed to reject¶
Sunyeong remembers school during an older era.
Teachers struck students indiscriminately, humiliated them publicly, and treated school rules as permission for violence.
One instructor hits a student for failing to position her body exactly as ordered.
Another sends a student out during lunch to repair a teacher’s personal item before returning for inspection.
The imagery expands into:
- indiscriminate corporal punishment;
- character assassination;
- unpaid errands;
- and labor exploitation.
Sunyeong remembers mothers making themselves small and apologizing before teachers who treated children cruelly.
She vowed that if she ever became a parent, she would never be that pathetic.
Segments 010–012 — The professor who resembles her old teachers¶
The memory also includes graduate school.
A professor pressures students through control over entrance examinations, degrees, and professional futures.
A student is forced to prioritize the professor’s private needs over academic work.
The professor calls personal errands “something a homeroom teacher should prioritize” and says a small request comes from the heart.
Sunyeong remembers teachers who treated students as labor.
The memory is bitterly ironic.
As a professor herself, she now behaves in almost the same way toward Dahee.
She recognizes the resemblance only enough to insist she is different.
DON’T GET THE WRONG IDEA!
I WOULD NEVER BE THAT PATHETIC.
Segments 013–015 — A malicious complaint is processed almost instantly¶
Sunyeong types a new complaint into the national People’s Petition system.
The title describes a child-abuse report and a teacher’s malicious conduct.
She says Jinyoung was kept after school alone on his birthday and forced to clean after classmates left.
She frames the consequence as retaliatory emotional abuse committed by a teacher angry at a parent who reported him.
The petition is processed only minutes after she files it.
Sunyeong smiles.
YOU PICKED THE WRONG PERSON TO MESS WITH! YOU’RE MY TARGET NOW!
She expects the school to be forced into another investigation.
Segments 016–017 — The complaint is rejected¶
The official response reaches the opposite conclusion.
The reviewed conduct is recognized as legitimate educational discipline rather than child abuse.
The notice says the complaint lacks objective evidence of discrimination, abuse, or improper treatment.
It also warns that Sunyeong has repeatedly filed substantially identical complaints after receiving sufficient answers.
Future duplicates may be closed internally without another full response because they interfere with instruction and waste administrative resources.
Sunyeong stares at the decision.
WHAT WAS THAT?! CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED?!
She cannot understand how the petition system she relied on has stopped producing institutional panic.
Someone rushes into the room and tells her to look outside.
Segments 018–020 — Teachers and graduate students protest her conduct¶
A protest has formed outside.
Teachers from Myeonjeong Elementary carry signs condemning indiscriminate lawsuits and malicious complaints.
One speaker says the class has suffered for five years and has replaced its homeroom teacher six times because of Han Sunyeong.
Funeral wreaths symbolize the careers and emotional health destroyed by the complaint campaign.
The protest expands beyond elementary-school teachers.
Graduate students and former subordinates describe abusive language, labor exploitation, and threats tied to academic advancement under Professor Han.
Sunyeong threatens everyone with defamation suits and orders supporters to remove the wreaths.
The people she expected to command remain silent.
GUYS…?
The authority she exercised through fear has begun collapsing in public.
Segments 021–022 — The backlash becomes national news¶
Television reports describe a funeral-wreath protest against parent-driven malicious complaints.
Teachers say repeated reports caused severe professional and psychological harm.
Graduate students join with allegations of labor exploitation and abusive supervision.
News coverage links the two roles Sunyeong kept separate:
- the mother claiming institutions oppressed her;
- and the professor accused of oppressing people beneath her own authority.
At home she curls into herself.
WHY ON EARTH IS THIS HAPPENING?
NOTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED EVEN ONCE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS…
The old system trained her to expect that every institution would eventually surrender.
Segments 023–025 — The TRPA closes the case¶
At the agency, Daniel submits the closure report.
The case followed the response measures created by the Minister’s task force.
Na praises the work.
The pilot complaint office, evidence review, teacher-protection procedures, and coordinated police response have already cut off a substantial number of malicious complaints.
Daniel says the completed file will be delivered to the task force.
Na leaves for the Ministry briefing room.
He says that, as a citizen who pays taxes, he has something he personally wants to say to the Minister of Education.
Before the policy announcement, police approach Sunyeong again.
Segments 026–030 — The first arrest under a new special law¶
Sunyeong screams that the Ministry created a rotten educational environment and demands accountability.
Officers restrain her.
She insists she is only voicing a complaint and asks whether that can possibly be obstruction of official duties.
Na says that is not the relevant offense.
Sunyeong is placed in handcuffs.
He congratulates her sarcastically:
CONGRATULATIONS, MS. HAN SUNYEONG!
She is the first actual arrest under legislation passed by the National Assembly that morning:
THE SPECIAL ACT ON AGGRAVATED PUNISHMENT FOR MALICIOUS COMPLAINTS AND INFRINGEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Her conduct is being treated not as one rude phone call, but as a sustained campaign involving knowingly false accusations, obstruction, harassment, and retaliatory pressure.
Segments 031–032 — Minister Choi acknowledges two systemic failures¶
Minister of Education Choi Gang-seok addresses the public.
He expresses remorse and accepts responsibility for the educational crisis.
A causal analysis by the newly formed task force identified two major failures.
First¶
Teachers were being subjected to excessive duties of care and personal legal liability for school safety accidents, including field trips and activities in which individual teachers lacked meaningful control.
Second¶
Parents were able to file irrational and repeated malicious complaints with weak consequences, shifting entire administrative burdens onto individual educators.
Choi says the Ministry pushed two bills through the National Assembly that morning.
One reforms school-safety liability.
The other creates aggravated punishment for malicious complaints and infringement of educational activities.
The chapter ends before the Minister explains the provisions in full.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Sunyeong’s hostility began as a response to real authoritarian education¶
Her error is reproducing domination from the opposite side rather than creating a healthier relationship.
Her parent identity and professor identity use the same method¶
She weaponizes institutional processes against teachers while using academic authority to control graduate students.
The public petition system now distinguishes repetition from new evidence¶
The complaint is rejected through a documented standard instead of ignored informally.
The backlash succeeds because former victims speak together¶
Teachers and graduate students reveal a long pattern that no single person could make visible alone.
The arrest depends on new legislation¶
The story presents existing remedies as too fragmented to address systematic malicious complaints, prompting a dedicated criminal statute.
