Dear Teach for America, Stop Stalking Me
I'm being stalked. Not by a cute guy, or even by a not-so-cute guy. I am being stalked by Teach for America. The e-mails asking for a meeting were flattering at first, then got annoying, but the letter slipped under my door--now that was just creepy.
I think that Teach for America is a really great program, and once when I didn't have an internship, I even considered it for about five seconds. But I would be an awful teacher because I do not like stupid people. So, Teach for America, you don't want me. I know you don't. And I don't want your e-mails. Really.

I have never ever been stalked - by people or by organizations. Should I be royally insulted?
You know, insinuating that the students you would be working with as part of Teach For America are stupid is beyond arrogant. Enjoy your privilege, but please take a shot of humility next time you have the opportunity.
Anon, that came across wrong. I didn't mean the students in the Teach for America program are stupid. I meant, I don't have patience for teaching anyone at a lower level than me, so I would be a bad teacher anywhere--privileged yuppie elite prep school or inner-city public school or anything in between. I did not mean to indicate anything about the caliber of the students in the program.
