A high school teacher is caught stealing meal ingredients from students and selling them on the secondhand market

AKP STAFF

A high school teacher was caught selling meal ingredients intended for students on the secondhand market. The teacher conducted the sales anonymously, using unmanned parcel lockers in apartment complexes to avoid any direct interaction with buyers.

The items for sale were listed on a secondhand goods website and included strawberry jam, instant noodles, milk, tuna extract, and sweet potato noodles.


More than 30 confirmed cases of such sales were identified, all posted by a current teacher working at a high school in Iksan, North Jeolla Province. It was revealed that the teacher had been diverting meal ingredients intended for students and selling them on the secondhand market.


In an interview with a school official, it was mentioned, "Since it is a boarding school with three meals provided, meal ingredients are delivered in the early morning. It arrives early in the morning, so no one can actually see who comes out at that time."


Even recently produced rice cakes were listed for sale, with stickers bearing the manufacturer's name. The teacher was caught when the rice cake manufacturer confirmed the information on the sticker.


According to an interview with a rice cake manufacturer representative, "We only supply school meals, but when we saw our rice cakes on a secondhand goods website, we investigated and found out they were the same ones we delivered in the morning. Someone must have stolen them from the school..."


In an interview with an official from the Iksan Education Support Office, it was expressed, "We take this matter very seriously. I've been in education for 34 years, and this is the first time I've encountered such an incident."

Educational authorities have announced plans to discipline the teacher after conducting an investigation. Additionally, special inspections regarding school meals are set to be carried out.



Korean netizens responded:
"So many crazy people."

"How much more would she earn by selling those?"

"She shouldn't have stolen the food that students are meant to eat."

"She's such a beggar. I wonder how much she earned from selling those?"

"She had nothing better to do so she stole students' food."

"This teacher is an odd one."

"Wow."

"Beggar."

"That's so low of her."

"Aren't all those food paid by our taxes?"

"So embarrassing."

"She was diligent for the wrong reasons."
