Chaos in America's Classrooms
Michael Hall
William & Mary Educational Review, v4 n2 Article 3 p8-10 2016
Marines have a calling: "We run toward the sound of chaos." With the war in Afghanistan in the past and the future of U.S. involvement in Iraq still unclear, service members are leaving the military in droves. There is now an entire generation of Global War on Terrorism veterans re-entering civilian society with nowhere to go. The concept of helping veterans transition to becoming teachers is not a new idea. Alternate certification programs like Troops to Teachers allow veterans to become vocational and technical teachers with as little as one year of college and six years of fulltime work experience. The resources are there; our veterans just need help finding them. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015) there were over 573,000 unemployed veterans in 2014. With over half a million veterans looking for jobs, the answer to the problem plaguing schools is apparent. Veterans need jobs, and frankly, they deserve them.
