A curfew like that doesn't make sense. I would consider this to be extreme government overreach. In a free society you are allowed to study as much as you want and you're allowed to teach as much as you want.

They are free to study as much as they want. The curfew is on the business itself.

As the quote in the third paragraph says: 'It's the hagwon that's in violation, not you.'

That sounds like something that is made up.

At some point it’s a child welfare problem, right? That’s certainly not outside what the police should be regulating.

Of course, the underlying issue is societal and economic.
