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.

Thanks for blogging in support of REAL educators.
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.
