I've been catching up on my email and found this nugget.
What a great idea, Troops to Teachers, a welcome offspring of No Child Left Behind, to alleviate the teacher shortage. Teacher retention rates are excellent in this program with the additional advantage of providing a group of largely male role models for boys and girls, much needed in our schools.
Here is the Illinois program. Story on how it's working at one school here. It would be good to see some of these fine men teaching at our neighborhood schools.
