The school semester has started for all grades. Teachers are scrambling to prepare their lesson plans and educate young minds. concerned you may not have time for a Webtoon read if all you can do is think about school? What if there was a Webtoon that was focused on school, teaching, and the class, but with an unexpected twist? Creators Yongtaek Chae and Garam Han have brought action, violence, and education in their work Get Schooled.
Note that there are themes of gore, violence, mild explicit language, and depictions of self-harm. If this makes you uncomfortable I recommend not reading this Webtoon.
Get Schooled: Educational Plot
A list of schools that will be investigated and cleaned up for all kinds of harm from teachers bullies and proper educational values. An Anti-corporal punishment act was passed to prevent the need for corporal punishment methods for their students. However, this triggered many difficulties in managing students. The death of a teacher triggered a new change two years later. Thus, the Teacher’s Protection Act was made to keep students in line as well as any teachers.
