A bunch of full of them selves corps members who ruin public schools. They think they are gracing the public school system just by showing up. They are usually really bad at what they do. Treat teaching like a popularity contest, act inappropirately with students, and make up fancyfull data to support their self serving orginization.
TFA consistently lies about their data--that is common knowledge--if this data is coming from TFA . . . don't trust it! If you want to make your data show "value-added" gains, look to TFA to learn how to fudge.

Teacher A : "Why are all my students rude, distrespectful and have no skills?"
Teacher B: "Oh,, there was a Teach for America teacher in there before you."

A swarm full of college graduates who look like they just graduated from high school. Teaches in poor Urban areas and believe in helping the education gap and practice educational equity. Most often dress inappropriate, want to be friends with the students, and can be very malicious. Most of them are a bunch of young Liberals who favor Barack Obama. Who stalk high school students than you average teacher. Not a real teacher. Aren't certified. A program with a dedication for two years promising leadership and helps pay off their student loans. Most of them come from prestigious Liberal Arts college and don't major in anything useful.
My teacher's major is in English. She decided to join Teach For America because she didn't really know what else to do with her degree.

A sexual act involving a relatively older lover (henceforth "teacher") and several relatively younger lovers from an impoverished, inner-city community (henceforth "students"). The teacher wears nothing but the U.S. flag draped around his or her body. The students wear Catholic school uniforms that expose their private parts and each has an apple in his or her mouth, not dissimilar to a roast pig. The students line up on their hands and knees with their assholes towards the teacher. The teacher inserts pieces of chalk into each student's asshole one by one until she can no longer fit any more in. At that point, the teacher uses a yardstick to smack the chalk farther into the anal cavity. During this process, the student must recite the pledge of allegiance.

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."
