I think it's a good idea, there's not enough teachers and it's known that veterans can struggle finding another path after they leave the army. There would be loads of candidates in the army that have the knowledge and could probably teach various technology and IT classes as well as Key Skills like Maths and Science easily, just have to train them up on the act of teaching and the curriculum and such.

It's not like every ex-soldier would treat the class like it's their regiment and be extreme in handling the students. I had art and English teachers in Secondary school that were ex military and they were the most laid back teachers at that school. It's not like a cloud of Drill Sergeants are going to descend on the schools across the UK because of it.
