Yay yay TFA

So I’m a wanted man. That is, in the good, professional sense of the word. There’s a charter school in Brooklyn that’s contacted me through Teach For America and wants to set up a phone interview in the next week or two—I talked to my TFA advisor this afternoon and she was giving me the scoop on their program and what to expect in the interview. I’m really pumped, as I’d really like to work for a charter school, in an environment where there’s a team effort towards pushing student achievement—it seems really, really ideal. The stricter dress code/uniform would mean no more Birkenstock-hippie-professor clothes options for me, but I think I can handle that. Good thing this here body’s more than rainment.

Wheeee for you being scouted by schools already! Is it going to be a situation where you have a bunch of schools to choose from? Or are you pretty much going to take whichever one offers you a job?

That's RAIMENT to you, sonny boy.
No raining in it. Just ARRAYING in it. Stalwart knights in rich array, as they say in the ballads. Come to think of it, that sounds like the perfect way to dress for a Brooklyn schoolteacher.
Congratulations Rolf!!

Love,
Mom

I like my clothes comfortably moist--I'll have them rain all I want. :P
