The One About…
“From the Halls of Montezuma to the Halls of Central High: Military veterans are ‘unqualified’ to be teachers. Just like everyone else.”

Robert Pondiscio’s article appeared in Commentary Magazine’s January 2023 issue on education. Pondiscio is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of How the Other Half Learns. For his full bio, see the website, AEI.org.

  • Inadequate teacher training
  • Cash-cow teacher education programs at universities
  • Placing military veterans in classrooms to solve the teacher shortage.
