Gary Rebinstein writes here about his change of heart about Teach for America. Once a strong supporter and recruiter, he writes: "I hate that TFA has lost its way so badly and that they have become a huge part of the reason that the country is going in the wrong direction with regard to ed reform. I never thought they would amass so much power. Because they have refused to learn from their failures, which they deny, and from critics, like me, they have found themselves in this difficult position. When the corporate ed reform bubble bursts, as I believe it will soon — you can’t lie about inflated success forever — I worry that TFA burst along with it. That's too bad since the people in charge of TFA do believe they are doing what is good for the kids of this country. They just aren't sophisticated enough to know that they are wrong."
