I appreciate that more than you know. In my experience, Veterans rarely experience any issues in the classrooms because, for what it is worth, the kids connected with them. I have told kids over the years that I have seen men die in front of me, or some other experience, and they identify with that. I am 60, however, and my time is limited. I hope other Vets can take over the watch and go into teaching, because frankly, if you're a Vet, that gives you an advantage as far as discipline and such. Thanks for the response.
