Aside from getting ride of the noise of the critics of teachers and education it is imperative that those in positions of leadership; educators, government officials and the public-at-large encourage high school students to join the ranks of the teaching profession. In a sense I'm invoking the idea of President Kennedy when he launched the Peace Corps.
You can discuss the merits of the Peace Corps all you wish but the idea of launching such a program is appealing. What better way to serve others? What better way for people to make a difference? We are always asking the young to get involved with service projects or charities so why not ask them to take the next step?
We've shot for the moon and succeeded. Let's launch a march to telling our youth they can make a profound difference in this world by becoming a teacher.
