It's remarkable that so many edu-leaders who came out of TFA do so little in terms of challenging the status quo when it comes to systemic poverty and wealth inequality. Of course, these edu-leaders often end up on the high income side of income inequality and seem to have little to no awareness of the fact that they are the beneficiaries and perpetuators of said systems. They deserve their status, especially after two long, hard years toiling for teacher wages in poor schools. TFA allows the oligarchy to feel good about "giving" and supporting "teaching" and also allows for advancement of the myth that teachers don't "need" unions.
