Having volunteered at RCTC's (Rochester Community and Technical College) in their Math Learning Center, and having been allowed to work with both the students and some very skilled volunteers, it began to dawn on me that we had something very special here. We were seeing students who would otherwise be failing or just getting by instead being very successful. It struck me, and then others, that something along these lines might be just the push our education system needed.
So the page linked here - Study Hall - is an argument that we need to start some sort of a process that matches up retired but skilled individuals with the students who need them, no matter the subject, no matter the grade.
Enjoy.
