There was a technical problem when I posted this series and many readers reported that the content was blocked. In fact, YouTube blocked the entire series after I started posting it. No one knows why. It had been available prior to that time for several weeks on YouTube. Thus I am reposting the entire series, starting today.
Truth For America is a Network For Public Education Action podcast co-hosted by Dr. Julian Vasquez Heilig and Jameson Brewer that provides voice to educators, parents, students and other stakeholders about Teach For America.
They are joined in Episode 1 by a Houston educator and former high school principal. She discusses her problematic experiences with Teach For America corps members in Houston.

This is truly an amazing and eye opening podcast. It reinforced many of my greatest fears about TFA, and the TFA contract information just blew me away. To think effective, veteran teachers are being “leveled” due to numbers and “2 days later” their position is filled by a TFA “grad” – unreal.
