The Times Union is looking for Teach for America teachers

That could be difficult in Jacksonville because only 4 of the first 51 and ten of the second forty-one remain.

We are bringing in hobbyists looking for an adventure to work with our most challenged children in our most challenged schools and recently Duval County upped the ante because now they plan to bring in a hundred recruits a year all while local teachers and college of ed graduates can’t find jobs.

I believe TFA has a role to play but as a supplement to education not the front and center place it has been given.
