About

① Basic Social Structure The world of "Get Schooled" is set in a society similar to modern-day South Korea. On the surface, schools and the education system appear to operate normally, but serious issues are festering within certain institutions. • Infringement of Teachers' Rights | Situations where teachers find it difficult to conduct normal educational activities due to the unjust behavior of students or parents. • School Violence | Instances of violence and bullying among students that those around them fail to resolve properly. • Abuse of Power | Actions taken to cover up wrongdoings using social status or economic power. • Limitations of the Education System | Complex conflicts that are difficult to resolve through existing rules and procedures alone. • Evasion of Responsibility by Adults | Blindly shielding a student's faults or, conversely, turning away from the responsibility to protect students. – This work develops its story based on the premise that when these problems accumulate, schools lose their original role of teaching and protecting students. ② Birth of the TRPA (Teachers' Rights Protection Agency) – The most important organization in this worldview is the Teachers' Rights Protection Agency. – A special organization created to respond to incidents that are difficult to resolve through the existing educational framework alone, its role is to intervene directly at school sites to investigate the cause of problems and resolve them. – Unlike general schools, the TRPA is not affiliated with a specific school but handles incidents occurring across various schools. – Its primary activities are as follows: Identifying serious problems occurring in educational settings. Investigating the situations of students, teachers, and parents involved in an incident. Confirming the cause of the problem and where the responsibility lies. Intervening on-site as necessary to resolve the incident. Restoring order in educational settings to prevent problems from recurring. However, the authority and methods of the organization depicted in the work include dramatic settings and should not be considered identical to actual South Korean educational administrative agencies. 2. Introduction of Major Organizations Teachers' Rights Protection Agency (TRPA) Organization Name: Teachers' Rights Protection Agency Affiliation: A fictional special organization under the government Primary Purpose: To rectify collapsed educational settings and protect the legitimate educational activities of teachers. Primary Duties: School investigations, resolving problems in educational settings, investigating involved parties, and intervening in incidents. Key Figures: Choi Kang-seok, Na Hwa-jin, Lim Han-rim, Bong Geun-dae The TRPA is the central organization of this work. It is characterized by its ability to intervene in incidents that could not be resolved within the school and to investigate not only students and teachers but also parents and social power-holders. The core focus of this organization is not simply punishing students, but finding the root cause of the problem and holding people accountable for their wrongdoings. ② Ministry of Education The Ministry of Education is the government agency responsible for the nation's educational policies. In the work, Minister of Education Choi Kang-seok plays a crucial role in the creation and operation of the TRPA. While the TRPA is an organization that resolves incidents on the ground, the Ministry of Education occupies a position involved in the larger framework of educational policy and systems. Schools serve as the primary stage where incidents occur. The schools in the work are not all in the same situation. In some schools, conflicts between students are the issue, while in others, the unjust behavior of teachers, pressure from parents, or wrongdoings by school management become the problem. Therefore, in this work, the school is not just a background but a space where the relationships between students, teachers, and parents, as well as the flaws in the education system, are revealed. It is a situation where normal school activities become difficult to maintain.
