Don't you mean White Teach for America?
TFA is a mainly white organization developed and supported by rich white people to give their rich kids something to do after college instead of foundering around until they find a real job.
They also get to feel all noble about doing something for the great unwashed and their folks can feel morally superior when their friends talk about how their kid is is now a Hun-style lawyer or killing on Wall Street.
Student loans? Don't have to worry about payments or interest while you're TFAing.
And this year Congress passed a bill that says people who work in social service and 'charity' organizations can get their loans forgiven completely after 10 years.
Not us. Not real teachers with real teaching degrees. Just them and their ethnic studies degrees from Princeton.
