[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been thinking of going into the profession. The problem is I only have a bachelor's in a different field. So then what are 'my options? Is teach for America really that terrible? What other inexpensive training is out there for a mom with a couple of kids now to deal with?[/quote] What state are you in? Yes, TFA is terrible if you want to make a career out of it. The turnover rate in TFA is awful--such little training and support, and rough schools. Set yourself up to be successful. In Virginia, there are career switcher programs, where you can substitute work experience for a degree in education. That being said, I was in your boat and opted to get my masters through a weekend program. It was $20k and took two years, but it was really helpful and actually prepared me to be a teacher.[/quote]
