actually there is already a program similar to what you I wouldn't call Teach for America akin to being a martyr. I've known people who do it. I think they ask less than the Peace Corps. here's the link: http://www.teachforamerica.org/
It's actually a pretty huge program. i even considered doing it but missed the seminar. They hire recent college graduates to work (as if in the Peace Corps I suppose) at low budget and inner city schools as teachers. For those who aren't interested in grad school, and the job prospects are looking a little slim (which face it, sometimes they are, even if you are qualified) it's a good opportunity to do some work and make connections. *shrugs* it's not like they are asking you to live in the african jungle for four years with no running water.
