Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday announced a program to help U.S. veterans to become teachers in the Sunshine State, explaining that it is fitting to have those “who took an oath and put his or her life on the line to preserve, protect, and defend our flag and the freedom it represents” to teach the next generation.
“We begin the new school year. Florida’s leading the way by bringing some of the best, the brightest, and the bravest among us into our classrooms through a new program that helps military veterans become teachers,” DeSantis announced.

How long before the Communist Teachers Union begins wailing about how these war lovers are going to teach the students on how to fire weapons, make roadside bombs and perform deadly attacks on the 'trans teachers' and poc's in the schools? Then the useless media will be screaming the BS 24/7.

We were thrilled at home when my friend's father, a full bird Colonel, came home from Vietnam and was given a job as a teacher in our high school. Beloved in the community as he was, he did not fare well in the classroom. I have seen the same as a teacher educator. There are certainly individuals who can make a positive transition from military to the classroom. It isn't for everyone, though, and shouldn't be seen as a panacea. In our day, it was thought that military men could command respect in the classroom. Didn't work then and most certainly won't work now, especially since students are given every advantage no matter how bad their behavior. You just can't intimidate kids today. They know the system is on their side.

I applaud him and not just from the perspective of circumventing the teachers' unions, but also because we are facing a dire teacher crisis in America. If we don't start filling these jobs with level-headed, patriotic Americans, the left is going to continue to fill them with subpar, indoctrinated leftists.

The "Hive' that runs education will run the males off quickly. #2 raises some excellent points. This isn't 1960. Discipline is not what it was. Correct a kid and you're likely to be in the principal's office getting a disciplinary memo for traumatizing the kid - schoolyard PTSD. Hope the mother doesn't file a lawsuit.

A friend was a retired Army major and went to become a civics and history teacher in HS. He said that during his mandatory two years of 'teacher training" it was important to be able to parrot back the nonsense that they taught you while compartmentalizing it for later jettisoning prior to entering a classroom. Can't get your teaching certificate without parroting their BS, but you shouldn't ever let any of that garbage get to the classroom, if you are a good teacher.
Unfortunately, the majority of teachers fully embrace the horrible stuff put out in teacher training.

I agree with #2. If you want a good read, try Mike Rowe’s Book The Way I Heard It. He writes about his favorite teacher and how he treated the students. That was back in the day. It’s so different these days, but kudos to any willing vet who wants to teach.

When I was in High School (55-59) we had a former Drill Sgt as Principal of the School. He looked tough, crew cut and all, and if anyone had any doubt he was tough, just watch him grab,some Smart A Guy who thought he was cool, buy the collar of his Shirt and slam him into the Lockers! That Principal put the fear of God in most students. He didn't put up with a lot of nonsense when students were changing classes. I think that's exactly what kids now days need. They have no respect for Adults! They are used to no consequences if they didn't like Rules. If they steal something, nothing happens to them! If they talk back to a teacher, or even worse attack one, nothing happens to them! Time to change what happens when they do those things. Teachers should be able to demand respect. So, I'm all for Military Teachers! I hope they can make it work!

The teachers Union does not care about children or their parents. The teaches union wants only more members with more dues.
