TFA and Apple - What Happened?
Thanks to Mirmac 1 for this update.
The Daily Kos had a story about one woman's story about Apple's program to have customers donate old iPads to TFA teachers. Her story of getting passed around at Apple corporate reminds me of my efforts to figure this out. From the story:
After being passed around on the phone from one corporate office to another, I finally asked Jerry in marketing if Apple knew that Teach for America recruits weren't really teachers -- that their claim of "Teach for America takes well-trained teachers—referred to as "corps members"— was completely false, and that the campaign was deceptive. I said it would be great if Apple were offering donated iPads to real teachers, but the company is misleading donors when it tells them their donation will go to a Teach for America "teacher."
The marketing guy then said this. "We paint with a broad brush when we use the term teacher." He said he
