          1. I love it. You put it so plainly. It is so truly terrifying. Our children are being turned into oppressed machine-slaves. The parents and students of this society are being singlehandedly brainwashed by clueless, selfish millionares, and it makes me sick.
            I have a blog too: americasfutureinsidestory.blogspot.com
            Thanks for blogging in support of REAL educators.

          2. Really? 2.5 is the minimum GPA? hmmm...so much for the slamming teachers with the "bottom of their graduating classes" thing-a TFAer with a 2.5 wouldn't really be setting his or her graduating class on fire either. So is GPA important or not? If it is, then I would think the minimum GPA would be a little higher.
