In our recent Education Hoedown, one thing Mel, Markus, and I all agreed on was that TFA is a shit pancake. Over at Pushback, promising young froshie¹ Dylan Matthews joins the chorus offering a shoutout to UTEP while at it.

If Harvard students–or any other college students, for that matter–are serious about helping to fix America’s public education system, they ought to do more than a two-year “lets play teacher” summer camp. Maybe then they’ll have a better–and more humble–message for their students than “Trust me, I went to Harvard.”
