beware of teach for america - aka tfa

by: truth

Beware of Teach for America. They are trying to get rid of public schools and they are using us young people right out of college to help them get rid of teacher pensions so they can make public schools into charter schools. Don't fall for it. Don't sign up with TFA recruiters.

I'm pretty sure that TFA got run out of town years ago. Nobody takes them seriously.

And that’s a problem? Why?! Unions//pensions/tenure were the beginning of the end for education. Educators should be held to
the same standards as every other business. Kudos to TFA for exploring alternatives.

Charter schools are not the answer. They take public money and make a profit off children. TFA is an anti-union, anti-women, Republican group that needs to be stopped.

Pensions are a good thing. Do you really want your grandmother living on cat food?

Regardless of your feelings about Teach For America politically, it is not a good idea to work for them. It used to be a help to get into law school or grad school, but now Teach For America looks really bad on a resume. Don't do it. You will be stuck as a teacher even if you don't want to be.

If you do TFA you will be stuck as a teacher at poor schools for the rest of your life. When you are young, they will adore you and love you, but when you get older and more expensive you will be abused by your administrators. Don't do it.

I know someone who did TFA and she had to take it off her resume and LinkedIn, cause she couldnt' get a job and she was getting hate mail.

Does anyone here even want to be a teacher? I don't think so. My mom did TFA back 1999 and they were really corrupt and evil.
