this is actually our second go-around with teach for america. and the first time, we had a lot of political pressure and i don't think i realy supported it then, although i did some offensive things to me by meeting with people but at that time their condition of the contract was that they be placed in underperforming schools. we refused to do that. and that was why the relationship ended after two years, i think. as i recall. so i still think that, and one of my issues with that, and this doesn't mean i don't appreciate the dedication of the people who do this, but one of the reasons, one of the other things we found offensive about this program, politically and philosophically speaking, is that its leaders get up and say, we're going to save the urban schools of america by putting teach for america teachers in every low-performing school in a big city and i'm unwilling to support that. and if that's what we're doing, in fact, and in fact, i think that when this was brought to us in 2008, we were told that we weren't going to do that this time
