Pros
You will be aiding to bridge the achievement gap in areas that need it the most! To be a teacher in the program is more than just writing a lesson plan and presenting it in front of the class. To be a TFA corp member is to be a mentor, friend, and teacher to some youth that may be on the borderline of dropping out. Within the first few months working under Teach for America, I feel I made a significant impact on my community.
Cons
Expect the unexpected. I could have never imagined some of the problems that our youth endure. This is the main thing that I feel that TFA did not put across thoroughly to me, but how could they?
