| Teach for America (TFA) was founded by
Wendy Kopp in 1990. It is a non-profit organisation that recruits top-notch
graduates from elite institutions and gets them to teach for two years in
struggling state schools in poor areas. I had thought the programme was about getting more high-quality teachers — but that, it appears, is a secondary benefit. “This is about enlisting the energy of our country’s future leaders in its long-term educational needs, and eliminating inequity,” Wendy explains.

To: Customer Service Department, One Star Telecom Subject: My May phone statement Customer Service: I signed up for a cell phone plan with One Star this past March. According to the contract I signed, I was to be charged a base fee of $59 per month for unlimited Internet use and up to 600 minutes of call time. Anything over 600 minutes would be billed at a rate of 20 cents per minute. I chose this plan because I knew I would never surpass the regular minutes. However, in my May phone statement, it clearly shows that I only logged 479 minutes of call time during the month. Yet, the total in the "amount owed" column, before taxes, is listed as $69. Can you explain this discrepancy I have heard horror stories from friends who receive service from other phone companies about sudden and unannounced rate hikes. I chose One Star specifically because I was led to believe this would never happen. I hope I wasn’t mistaken in that assumption. - Wendy A. A new One Star phone B. A discounted monthly rate C. A refund of $59 D. A free account upgrade 我来回答: 提交
