Would I now advise an educated young person just out of college to go into some of the unsafe neighborhoods in D.C. to teach school

That type of teacher should be teaching bright young kids in the suburbs. Those kids just need someone to point the way.

The intercity schools need tough old birds in their 40's who have been around and know how to teach kids in those schools.

But our system is set up to do precisely the reverse.
