Media: The Onion Takes On School Reform (Again)

 

It's not quite as good as the original(?) 2005 Onion headline Teach For America Chews Up, Spits Out Another Ethnic-Studies Major, but it's close:

My Year Volunteering As A Teacher Helped Educate A New Generation Of Underprivileged Kids (by Megan Richmond)
