As a product of the Chicago inner city public schools and the daughter of a woman who has been working in said system for almost 13 years, I know a thing or two about "believing the children are our future." There is something so entitled about Teach For America. Like, when you ask someone, "Hey Monica, do you think you can make it to my Labor Day BBQ?" And she goes, "Oh, I would LOVE to, but, I am going to Teach For America. I move to the 9th Ward next week. How are things at Whole Foods working out for you?" Fucking bitch.
Teaching underprivileged kids in shitty schools for 2 years and then moving on to become a fucking civil rights lawyer does NOT make you special. What this country's public school system suffers from is a lack of young and willing teachers who want to continue being teachers. So when you flounce in with your resume filled with Habitat For Humanity references and the notion that you are really "helping" you are actually just cementing yourself on the list. Because guess what. YOU ARE NOT A REAL TEACHER.
