TFA is AFT Spelled Backward

In The News

December 6, 2007

I have no idea what that headline is supposed to mean, but it seemed clever when I started typing it. My second choice was going to be “TFA Gets an ‘L'” but I figured only about 5 people would know what I was talking about.

AFT Michele, one of my favorite edubloggers (because she has a soul,) is leaving the union to go to work for Teach For America as vice president for federal and state policy.

In a previous blog life I once called Michele ‘lazy’ and it was a cheap shot I quickly regretted. She’s been a fun person to have around in these blog parts and her passion for ed reform is hard to match. My only hope is that TFA lets her blog every now and then.

Best of luck.
