So, I work for an international high school exchange organization. I have 3 students that I'm responsible for and 1 that I am still working to place for the year. I've had several leads that have fizzled out on this, which has been discouraging.
The strange thing that I realized today, though, was that every time I received contact from someone, that person was female. There is one exception from a caller who seemed to think I was looking to rent out a room, although I'm still not sure about that experience, and one from a previous host family where the dad was the driving force, but, although I email the family through him, on the phone I end up almost exclusively speaking with his wife.
This strikes me as funny in such a two-career household environment.

It seems to me that our society has a real lack of men who have the strength to take on a responsibility like that...and even fewer who would initiate it. =(Those who are raising boys, such as myself, need to take note of this!)
