The head of the Finnish Trade Union of Education (OAJ) was quoted as saying by regional daily Keskisuomalainen on Tuesday that the union's lawyers were kept increasingly busy settling disputes between schools and parents.
Olli Luukkainen, the chairman of the union, told the paper that today's parents expected teachers to do things that were not their job. "Teachers are afraid of the increasingly common interventions by lawyers," he was quoted as saying. Luukkainen said individualism and Americanisation were to blame. Source: Helsinki Times
