Instead of hiring fully certified teachers with teaching experience, why are these college students with zero teaching experience and no certification always given the jobs the former should have? I understand it is a placement thing, but most of these TFA people end up leaving after two years to pursue grad school while others would have stayed longer. The longer you work with a school, the better chance you have to work with programs and change the entire school, which will trickle into the classroom.

In my experience, districts and charter schools only prefer to hire or use Teach For America students when there is a lack of fully certified teachers
