"A good place to start your career but beware that the 2 yr teaching placement is gruesome. The kids aren’t the problem with TFA… The politics associated with the education system are. Sadly, on the organization side, there is an increased level of prejudice and bias that folks rarely admit to harboring on staff. Unfortunately, it trickles down into schools and classrooms, perpetuating white savior complex, leaving directors, managing directors, VPs and above with juicy benefits/ great work life balance that ironically exist at the cost of kids’ personal growth and teachers’ sanity."
