It's a pipe dream to think there will be a large influx of non-teachers wanting to get involved in education. From the pay to the demands to the rigors of teaching; people would find plenty of reasons to slowly make their way out of the system. Teachers are called to this profession because of something thats hard to measure.
The author in several places referenced that it would be a great idea and that other "professionals" would flock (seemingly) to the education industry. I guess when a few people do it the "trend" is created...?
I think they could bring a new perspective as well as real life experience of their positions. This would be beneficial, but would not bring a lot of new teachers in my opinion. I agree with Dirk though the idea of having more opportunities for teachers to be promoted would help with stagnancy.
