Princeton, New York and the Rio Grande Valley, 1967 to 2016. A college senior writes a thesis proposing a national teacher corps, graduates, raises money from oil and chemical companies, and by the following autumn has put five hundred untrained graduates into classrooms that could not otherwise be staffed. Twenty-five years later the organization she founded is one of the largest recruiters of new college graduates in the country, is paid a fee by the districts it supplies, and is the most argued-about institution in American schooling. A daughter of the Rio Grande Valley who joined its corps in 1998 ends up running it. The question is what was actually being sold, and to whom. Covers Wendy Kopp, Elisa Villanueva Beard, and Teach For America.
