The national corps of outstanding recent college graduates who commit to teach for two years in some of the most under-resourced rural and urban schools in the United States.
After the two years, TFA alumni continue to work relentlessly towards closing the achievement gap. Alumni pursue careers in education, or exert influence from other fields such as law, business, medicine, government, as well as other not-for-profit organizations.

"Nine-year-olds in poor neighborhoods are already three years behind their more affluent peers. They are seven times less likely to graduate from college. There are individuals in the wealthiest country on the planet who are effectively illiterate. This is shameful, and this is unjust.
I believe that educational equity is our generation's civil rights issue, and that is why I Teach For America."

Original land-grant school in the state of Virginia. Previously known as Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University...apparently too long...shortened to Virginia Tech for the convenience of it's students and graduates...multi-syllabic utterances are difficult for the typical Hokie (which, by the way, is a castrated turkey). The Corps of Cadets is lack-luster; made up of wannabe soldiers and dykes (which, by the way, is the word used to refer to upperclass "big brothers / sisters"). Thankfully, there are real military schools within the states that provide the discipline and direction necessary to assist in staffing our military. If we were to rely solely on the products of the VTCC, we would indeed see a military full of over-zealous, under-educated alcoholics who define thier success through childish pranks and high video game scores.
Virginia Tech underclassmen (in VTCC) are "turned" on "dyke-night"...a silly tradition of beer, pointless pt, and other "manly" pursuits like running the stairs at Lane Stadium, sliding down the trusses of Cassel Coliseum, or low crawling through the duck pond.

Middle schooler1 to middle schooler 2:
