That was a magic moment that justified the whole filming project. We were all captivated by the teacher bowing to the class at the start of the lesson. We naturally asked him why and he explained he was paying his respect to the future of the country. This made me wonder whether this wonderful attitude was, at least in part, a result of Finland being a relatively young nation. I do, somewhere inside myself, feel that way towards my own students but there doesn't seem to be the cultural atmosphere in our society to express this in the classroom. I think there should be. I think many of our young people seem less positive about the future and less sure about how they fit into it. I wholeheartedly agree with you.
