It Shouldn't Exist

Since there is NO teacher shortage anywhere in the country, TFA should not exist, let alone the federal government be involved with it in any way whatsoever.

There should be a moratorium on applicants to teacher education programs. When you have as many applicants chasing so few jobs as Seattle did five years ago, and things haven't changed at all, you don't NEED to be recruiting outside of teaching for teachers.

The big problem is with distribution of qualified teachers and licensure laws making it damned near impossible in some states for out-of-state teachers to become certified.

All TFA is comes down to union busting.
