This weekend was the Teach for America 20th Anniversary Summit in Washington, DC. Over 11,000 current or past teachers gathered to discuss all kinds of issues, from segregation, to turnaround schools, to Unions. Although it was an exhausting weekend, it was also incredibly motivating and inspiring. As soon as TFA posts the videos from their sessions here, I encourage everyone to go check them out. The speakers were impressively saturated with talented, knowledgeable, and intelligent people.

It should be noted – not everyone thinks it was such a nice weekend.
