Teach for America: The Recruiter: changing education today!
WOW! Just read this article from Fortune Magagine... "The Recruiter" by Patricia Sellers
You can find it at: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/11/27/8394324/index.htm
The article explains how Wendy Kopp has been able to convince thousands of elite university graduates to train with her program "Teach for America", work in local schools and get paid a fraction of their future professional wages for two years in order to 'give back' to the community, to better America. WOW! She really did start the American Teach-Corps! Why don't we have this in Canada? One woman, one young woman is making a HUGE difference in the education of millions not to mention national pride, community giving, helping others, growth in empathy...
....just WOW!

The notions in this article go back to our discussion about paradoxical pairing of democracy and capitalism... unfortunately, as a society we seem to be leaning towards the latter!
