I am a Houston teacher who wants to communicate with TFA teachers. I respect your work, but believe TFA leaders are too close to conservatives. They blame schools and teachers, not our unequal society, for every education failing. This goes back to TFA's founding, when Wendy Kopp built an alliance with Union Carbide, whose negligence caused 100,000 casualties in India, and continued with her hookup with the Edison Project, which wanted to replace public schools with corporate schools.
I'm actually NOT a TFA teacher, I've gone through a traditional educational program. In all honesty, I don't think much of this program. It has too much of an emphasis on teaching being a stepping-stone for other careers. This was merely an assignment for a class. We showed the video (in which we were required to cite positives and negatives) and then held discussions on it.
