South Koreans, shaken by ferry disaster, send kids to safety class

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean parents, well known for marching their children off to cram schools, have been enrolling their youngsters in safety classes since hundreds of people were killed in a ferry sinking in April.

The ferry, the Sewol, overloaded and travelling too fast on a turn, capsized and sank off the southwest coast on April 16, killing more than 300 people, most of them children and teachers from the same school on a class trip.
