Only the military veteran ones, so like 2 across the country.

Wait. Do you really think veterans aren’t teachers? Why? Of the 40 odd teachers I had in my public school career at least 8 were vets and that was BEFORE the GWOT made so many more of them.

About 2% of K-12 teachers across the U.S. are veterans. Your experience is not the norm. Outlier experiences exist but the data tells us about 2% on average.

2% of teachers is thousands of people. My guess is that the number is much higher in the south and rural areas (I’m from MO) because there are more veterans there. Lot of people get their teaching degree on GI scholarships where I’m from.
