P.S. I didn't delete the @TeachForAmerica emails because I knew one day I would be emotionally ready to write about my time in TFA and #ResistTFA after that. Hoping that's this summer.

P.P.S. I got my Google account down 2 GB! So I have still enough room for emails and the like!

@TeachForAmerica almost broke me.

I am so happy I #ResistTFA and that I am still a teacher today.

I was SO close to quitting teaching.

I was SO close to letting people who aren't teaching tell me I shouldn't be teaching.

That is the most heartbreaking thing of all. 9/9

Generally themes I tweet about are equity- what does equity look like in our society, and how can people get what they need? Topics I'm known for- #resistTFA, #educolor #writing #teaching #AAPI #Asians4BlackLives #BLM #SaveSpecialEd #unions #DefendDiversity #SHSAT #VincentChin.

Remember 4 yrs ago we collectively got #resistTFA #1 trending (& after a bunch of personal attacks, a ton of articles, Truth For America tours, yadda yadda @TeachForAmerica dropped 25% in recruitment)? @KatieOsgood_ @rrrahonda @mel_katzz @tjamesonbrewer @MSGunderson @ProfessorJVH

A day where I can talk to undergrads considering TFA over pros and cons (mostly cons) of @TeachForAmerica is a good day indeed #ResistTFA

"edu is civil rights issue of our time"- ppl who say that don't understand what civil rights was and is today! @TheJLV #resistTFA #notatest

Q for @TheJLV bout helping teachrs find their voice quickly, esp. in time where students always gettng 1st yr teachers. I say #resistTFA etc

Once thought Teach For America might do good by public education. No more. #resistTFA

Preparing teachers for 6wks, then sending 2hi-need schs- not what any hi-performing ed system does @pasi_sahlberg #resistTFA #pasibilities

Sad that TFA alum bash me, call me weak 4 being dishonorably discharged from TFA, teaching= "survival of the fittest." Claws out! #resistTFA

"@PolarEd75: #ResistTFA because students deserve quality teachers who want to teach them, not those that are forced to!" or hate the job!!!
