2. Some statistics, some teacherless facts.
   Consider that with retirements, growing enrollments and reductions in class size, the nation's public schools will have to hire 2.5 million teachers over the next decade, only slightly less than the number of teachers now working (2.8 million). With educational options like vouchers and charter schools growing nationally, officials say there is also an increased willingness to experiment with teacher education.
   See what's being experimented with now!  Prepare to groan.
