4. They are very selective in their recruitment,
To the point where one wonders just what their agenda is. Not to brag or anything, but I'm getting multiple degrees, two in education, one in history, a member of several honor societies, and have a GPA well over 3.9. I was interested in TFA and stopped by their booth at a general recruitment/job fair on campus.

They didn't want me, even though I was a top education recruit in our school. There was no mention of religion or anything, so I can't say that was the issue, but nevertheless, they said that I didn't fit the profile of the candidates that they were looking for. My thought is that they wanted younger and dumber, easily malleable candidates who wouldn't complain about the situations they were placed into, wouldn't complain about how the organization worked and the pay they received.

It doesn't surprise me that they're big into charter schools, and the whole Christianity thing doesn't surprise me either.
