That stuff on Viennese schools was very interesting indeed - think I might have to relocate:-)

Most of the europeans I think have more sense than we have in this regard, although the teacher was female. I think males also would not have too many problems showing and receiving affection from primary-age pupils at most european schools. Wasn't that seen in that french documentary film which I haven't the name of. Is the ratio about 7 or 10 to one for female/male teachers now in primary schools? The fact that there are so few male teachers might also account for the fact that they would possibly be more popular than females, how ironic?
