Any Teaching Fellows out there?

I'm considering applying for the NYC Teaching Fellowship and possibly TFA as well, as I would like to get out of NYC ideally. I'm not sure if I'm going to do it, but I'm about 85% sure that I'm going to apply for the mid year NYC one.

I finished up my first week of student teaching on Thursday. My students are wonderful, but they are in a remedial summer program and need to pass in order to move up a grade. I'm astounded at what they struggle with (multiplication and long division as "rising" seventh-graders!) and I told them they are in boot camp from here on out. I also threatened to chop off fingers if I see anyone counting on them from here on out.

Buttonz, let me know if you want any information on the application process. I interviewed at NYCTF as well, but chose the DC program. One of my good friends just started the NYCTF summer program and I have several friends going into/in TFA.
