was founded by a couple of private school TFA preppy opportunists with about 5 years of elementary school teaching experience between them. The rest of the crew are 20 something ex-charter minimal experience elementary school teaching entrepreneurs with 3 or less years of classroom experience. Educators4Excellence is heavily funded by the Gates Foundation and is rumored to also receive money from the Walton and Broad foundations as well. These ex-educators and other like them are the yuppie foot soldiers of corporate directed and funded privatization .
