Who are you?

If you do not know who you are, anyone can name you. And if anyone can name you, you will answer to anything.

Teach for America vs Surgery for America.

To those individuals that are doing Teach for America (TFA),

Why didn't you do Surgery for America (SFA)?

The notion that TFA provides is that anyone can educate in our education system. I do not believe or agree that an individual can be train in a five-week intensive training program to be able to educate for a full academic school year, learn different teaching and lesson-plan models, methods, and techniques. One-on-one coaching and online support will not provide with the necessary tools to be the best of the best educator. Online lesson plans does not provide the needs of each student's learning needs. There is so much more that I can say about TFA ... I hope you get that idea of the harm that TFA can create to our education system and our children.

If anyone can be a teacher, why not allow and provide with the opportunity to individuals to go through a five-week or ten-week intensive training program, give one-on-one coaching, and online support to become a nurse or a doctor. Why not create SFA for everyone to join and help our communities by providing a better medical attention.
