I applied and interviewed a couple of years ago to be a part of Teach for America. After reading this article from my favorite news source, The Onion, I am glad that they rejected me.
Now, I have several friends that could not be happier with the work they are doing and the impact they are having as part of the TFA corps. So, this isn't to denigrate the organization or my friends, but I have to say, I could not do it. I don't know that I could handle a class full of 8 year-olds, underpriviledged or not, without cracking a few skulls in the process.
Kudos to you, TFA-ers. Especially those of you that are still at it.
On a completely random note, Carlee, a German Shorthaired Pointer won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last night.
