is essential for Aigner a change in the entire training:" We are an image of a primary school teacher would need a specialist in childhood as a whole "
about the effects of" femininity cage "in which. Children are increasingly are, experts still disagree. "We do not know. In a male world, but male characteristics are emphasized less space. In kindergarten, we have seen that more children run riot, act physically stronger, when a man plays with them. You have to suppress less. "
Harald Schabus comes after 26 years of professional experience to a similar conclusion: "The boys need male role model it would be desirable if children had more male caregivers.."

"Over the next ten years, half the teachers retire. The aim would be to win as many men for the job."
