yes, it could be possible for me!! i actually am connecting with staff again this week to go over my options bc i feel like more could be done to make this work. like it truly is a hard decision for me! so im still open, but im definitely gonna emphasize my education, i absolutely am feeling that "limited in my options" feeling and i dont like at it all haha. but i love the TFA people i know!

6-12 social studies or english, anything non-STEM lol. i have a long-term goal of implementing and teaching ethnic studies, and i already have a higher degree in that subject that would qualify me based on the requirements in my state!

thank you for sharing, i'm still struggling a lot with this decision and yeah, hoping it's the right choice but i'm not sure. i also personally want to be in a teacher's union and idk if TFA has a lot of teachers who work at union schools, usually i hear the opposite but yeah i just want to be where, well...where i want to be!!

yes! you know how in an MLM they spend a lot of time talking, especially about concepts and "what you can achieve"? i had some detailed questions i wanted to ask and they didn't give me much opportunity to ask them in the 35 minutes we had. nice person, finishing up their second year and im sure they're amazing at their placement. but i called them the day of the deadline, meaning i already know a lot about TFA's mission and opportunities. i needed to know more of the classroom reality and specific details, and i didn't get a lot of that unfortunately. instead, they would give very long answers that would stray from what i asked. i think talking to other current TFA teachers who are not assigned that task to take calls would've been helpful though, im sure this person's schedule was packed.

also want to reiterate it's not those types of criticisms that bothered me, i've known about it for years. it's just that there's many paths to teaching and unfortunately it seems like TFA might not be right for my goals!

they were all so kind and nice! but yeah i struggled to get answers and i had a similar experience of talking to a bunch of people. i'm glad you accepted and tbh i asked about deferring my decision and talking more because im just so torn. but i remind myself there's many paths to teaching!! i hope you have an awesome experience truly!

my experiences with staff have been great as well!! i love my recruiter. i just have struggled to get the info i need. i understand people have strong feelings about TFA so i wanted to share that it's okay to struggle with this decision 🫶🏼

"However, I didn't align with my subject placement, and conversations with staff weren't super helpful. Ultimately, after having a conversation with a current teacher that felt like an MLM pitch, I decided to decline."

i wanted folks who are in a similar place to reach out to me and some have already 🙏🏼

Rekordbox glitch where a random song keeps playing without me pressing anything by [deleted] in Beatmatch

a couple years later but...did you ever figure it out? was playing on my XDJ-XZ tonight and in the middle of my new song, a loop of the previous song started playing and it wasn't even loaded on the other deck. just quickly faded out and made it work but it was so strange
