Reply #75: It's actually like Teach for America

[tonysam]

People get a stipend to teach in high-need areas, in a field which already has a massive glut, but veterans have to have a bachelor's degree or more to be in the program. It's the same requirement as TFA. In other words, it's an alternative licensure program for would-be teachers. These vets do not go through a traditional teacher licensure program.
