Each year the Teach for America program recruits recent college graduates to work for two years in urban and rural public schools, hoping to inspire a lifelong commitment to education. It does the job well: A 2011 studyfound that the program creates more founders and leaders of education organizations than any other organization or program.
Members of Teach for America's "teacher corps" collectively reach 750,000 students -- 50 percent of whom are black. And this year, the organization announced in a press release on Monday, a higher percentage than ever of the educators are themselves African American.
these inspiring story too often don't make it to your daily news stations in lieu of the violence and political circus, who said what about who. that kind or reporting tends to make some avoid the disparaging news of how the world, their world is in a sink hole and the right wing is all peeing in the hole. this cause's stories like this to get missed if one station was moved to humanity topics instead of implosion.
those days of our young being taught a false history of their people and civic's class geared to what it presently reflects, not what it's intent should be. people always like to insert "the founding father's" in what it should be like, for my people it was dealing with being considered as only 1/5 of a human being.
