re: #181 SanFranciscoZionist

One guy who went through TfA, and actually became a teacher, after a few horrible years of being very very bad at it, has done some writing. One of the things he comments on is that TfA, if you seem good, actually tries to pull you out of the classroom early, and use your skills to promote the organization—give you a job in the main office, have you travel and recruit…

Found that very interesting.

He’s still teaching math, and wrote one of the funniest books about classroom management that I have ever read.

The founder of TfA, Wendy something or other, struck me as a social-climbing opportunistic twit when I read about her back in the early ’90s. But she sure had her patter down.
