    Hi,


    I think the Geeks for America concept is clever.  It's a shame you chose to fold a creative idea into a critique of Teach for America.  TFA was an organization created to meet a need of teacher shortages and under-resourced school communities in urban and rural areas.  I'm fairly sure that Socol's over-the-top rant is as inaccurate as it is divisive.


    Following their TFA commitments, some corps members leave for other professions.  But many stay in education and do their best to make a difference.  I joined TFA in 1993, and ended up teaching for eight years.  I just finished my 8th year in a school leadership role (3 as AP, 5 as Principal).  I've spent my entire career working to improve inner city classrooms and schools.  And I strongly believe in the mission of providing all students with an inspiring educational experience where technology and education are truly interdependent.


    You show me a worthswhile, detailed platform for Geeks for America, and you can count me in.  But I'll be representing Teach for America when I sign up.
