OPERATION CANNON FODDER.
'Military veterans will be offered £40,000 bursaries to retrain as teachers to help instill self-discipline and leadership skills in young people, the Government has announced.
Former military personnel who begin teacher training courses in priority subjects - including maths, the sciences and modern foreign languages - can get a bursary from September.
The Department for Education and Ministry of Defence want ex-servicemen and women to whom discipline is second nature to share the ethos with pupils.'
What could the thinking behind this be, teachers cum drill sergeants creating generations of compliant conformists?
