<p>Vladenschlutte, are you kidding? Remember the WPA? There is a ton of infrastructure work in this country that needs to be done. No shortage of public service work. Wouldn’t it be great if every classroom teacher in a low-achieving school had the opportunity for an aide? Not just someone dropped in without training but someone who was trained to really help by giving students individual help or managing the classroom while the teacher did so? And that’s just off the top of my head.</p>
