A caveat
That’s it for my list of useful teacher qualities, for now. There are, of course, many others, and if you think I left out anything crucial (I’m sure I did), let me know.
Keep in mind that none of the above guidelines are rigid rules (and also, that all of these ideas are based on my own thoughts, experiences, and observations, and what do I know?). You could be an introverted peacemaker who’s always been indifferent to kids, join TFA, adapt well, and become a happy and effective teacher. But then again, maybe not. The idea here is to know yourself, to know—as well as you can—what it’s like to teach as a part of TFA, and to figure out whether the program is for you.

Hi, I saw that you get a lot of spam comments on your blog, but I just wanted to thank you for posting your thoughts on TFA. I'm trying to look at the decision from every perspective, and your blog has definitely helped me see it from a somewhat balanced point of view that I haven't found in many other places. So, thanks. :)
