As the editor of a very small weekly newspaper 20 years ago, I made a point of befriending some Teacher Corps teachers in the Mississippi Delta. The Southern, relatively conservative corps members did just fine. The ones who thought they were going to save the world couldn't hack it.<br /><br />One guy, from Lousiana, did just fine. His roommate, from a top Northern school, threw up every morning before going to school and quit after the first year. From what I've been able to gather, that's the story of the Teacher Corps throughout the South.Rebelyellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-70629158016377630462010-04-06T15:17:41.641-07:002010-04-06T15:17:41.641-07:00Kudzu Bob, that was the best paragraph I've re...Kudzu Bob, that was the best paragraph I've read in many weeks.<br /><br />But I'd better get out of here or Mnuez is gonna beat me up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-77151003858531349722010-04-06T12:44:13.901-07:002010-04-06T12:44:13.901-07:00Now that's REALLY scary.

Just one of the 12,000 young people TFA has given a start in the profession since 1990, Cuellen was given five weeks of training the summer before he took over a classroom at P.S. 83 in the South Bronx last September.<br /><br />"I walked into that school actually thinking I couldn't make much of a difference," said Cuellen, who taught an overflowing class of disadvantaged 8-year-olds. "It was trial by fire. But after five months spent [there], I feel profoundly rewarded."<br /><br />Cullen said he loved his time with the TFA program, but "with a heavy heart" he has accepted a teaching position in a Long Island school.
