Me too. It's fun to watch the teachers around here get all exercised about competition from those who have done time in the real world.

The teachers union got all upset 10 years ago when the Feds stood up the Troops to Teachers program and sent out 10,000 military folks over the years as teachers. The interesting thing, is that military folks are typically anti-union. There are various schools around the US that suddenly had anti-union teachers employed, and the younger teacher crowd became impressed with the anti-union stance of the military personnel. My guess is that these business people will be anti-union as well.
What naysayers ought to think about....for at least 100 years in American history....we did not have education specialist teaching. In fact, for a long period...we had no college educated people teaching. And we did fairly well. Lincoln didn't get a college graduate teaching him...so perhaps its not such a bad thing.
