Students at the University of Washington are concerned about the school's relationship with "Teach for America," so they arranged a meeting with the Dean of Education.

Right now, Ed majors have to complete a year of student teaching before they can head up a classroom of their own. But a new partnership puts "Teach for America" students on the fast track. Many UW students feel they're the ones being left behind. KING 5's Meg Coyle reports.

How about interviewing some of the students who are protesting this decision? They are very, very bright and have the data (provided by the program at the UW) about effective teachers and effective programs. There is no research to back up TFA, only private moneys that are supporting this program, but no mention of that was made in this report.
