Would you like a soldier to be your teacher? Of course not youll be yelled at and ordered
around! Thats what most people think, but actually this image is . In a
programme called Troops to Teachers, American ex-soldiers to teach in the
school system. Soldiers and schools gain from this, since the soldiers are given a way to
and schools are with much-needed teachers. However, its the
students who gain the most. Far from acting like theyre still in the army, the soldiers are kind,
and enthusiastic educators. Because many are from ethnic minorities and
have similar backgrounds to the students, they are able to act as for the
students. These teachers have improved their academic results dramatically in
schools in poor areas. So far, 15,000 soldiers have been through Troops to Teachers, and
hopefully this successful programme will continue .
