Teach for america?

ok, I think I'll jump to my main issue here rather then talk about random shit for a bit... oh who am I kidding I'll to random shit first

1: good job on doing aids walk jenn :3 only if you could kill the jack ass protesters... oh well, that's why I drive volvos, for the day I finally let the inner light show me the way ^-^
2: ... my god tobin's class can kill a guy, but the matzah ball soup was nice and all :3
3: ... stuff happens, ooo had a good weekend, the search for the ever elusive fagbag for me continues, however there were some nice ones at the diesel store (surprise there eh?)

now for the real thing, teach for america, I've heard some little things for and against it, and something where the TFA guy was nearly brought to tears (pussy... can't defend his own thing...) and part of me thinks what the fuck to this, yet at the same time I see it's flaws... however...

IT'S BETTER THEN FUCKING NOTHING YOU ASS HOLES >.< I know there is no shortage of teachers in LAUSD, my MOM is still trying to get a job here but magically they aren't hiring for teachers. Despite their unwillingness to hire more teachers they are still overcrowded schools here, so, the solution supposedly is teach for america. Which in all honesty I want to say right now is a pretty small bandaid for a very big wound, but still, it helps a little bit.

Yes, these students desperately need well qualified super teachers with wonderful backgrounds and so forth. Yes we need more teachers over all. But those two things cost a fair sum of money that apparently people are not willing to spend on these youths. I personally see TFA a worthwhile program because it at least puts someone in there with a decent education to help these kids. Is it perfect? Hell no, that's obvious, if it was perfect we'd be getting high qualified teachers in there and paying them real money instead of college graduates that would willingly work for peanuts. But we're not going to get that, and all I see our proud oxy students do is attack one of their alumni who was actually willing to say no to a higher paying job, and went out into a rural community, taught children for two years, and did something that touched lives and benefited the country as a WHOLE. Instead of congratulating him we attack him, attack the program, and bitch that they don't do more... WHAT THE FUCK?!

I don't see you bastards going out and attacking LAUSD or the mayor's office or arnold demanding more money for public schools. But oh no, when you find this one guy praising a program he spent some time in, you attack. Why don't you attack the causes for him being there instead? TFA exists only because there is a need for well qualified teachers yet an inability due to budget constraints to hire enough teachers. Why not attack where those budget constraints are? Why not scream about how our state lottery is not paying any money to the schools due to little leeches on the side take all the money away? Why not do something WORTH WHILE instead of attacking this one small messanger guy? Is that all we're good for now? Having programs that come to us, offering us paid jobs for two years, a chance to help america's youth and maybe give them a quality education and ATTACK them saying that their systems are racist blah blah blah blah and that we need real teachers in there? What on earth is wrong with you people? They're making a positive difference out there and you're trying to stop them.

I'm not acting like TFA is the greatest program ever created, but honestly, it's something that is attempting to make things a little better, and if a student can be a moderate TA for a class I think they should be capable to teach in a number of school settings. Try tossing some fresh blood into the system and keep up with it, TFA tries something and I would like to think it works; rotating new students out of school systems with new views, hopes, and what not, and making sure they see just how important it is that all kids get quality educations out there.

So... there was a small rant (rant being a heated one way discussion about a topic I feel for and think is worth talking about for those who don't really get it... >.>) about Oxy and TFA...

... I mean seriously why not complain about some of the community service programs and that the money that goes to fund them would be better spent on just hiring real labor to build one single quality park instead of helping a lot of people instead? -.-
