Great link! But according to the poster and I also watch the debate McCain said:

"The military should be able to come home and skip teacher certification/training and go right into the classroom..."

According to the link you sent:

DANTES assists eligible members of the armed forces to "obtain certification or licensing as elementary school teachers, secondary school teachers, or vocational or technical teachers and to become highly qualified teachers."

Under this program, the Secretary of Education transfers funds to the Department of Defense for the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) to provide assistance, including stipends of up to $5,000, to eligible members of the armed forces so that they can obtain certification or licensing as elementary school teachers, secondary school teachers, or vocational/technical teachers and become highly qualified teachers by demonstrating competency in each of the subjects they teach.

I'm confused...if this is the program then that is great! But he specifically said that he wants troops to go straight into the classroom with no certification and I don't want an uncertified teacher teaching my son.

thanks for clearing that up ... and I tend to agree, I'd still favor certification.
