Criticism
In recent years, the NYC Teaching Fellows program has been criticized for continuing to recruit teachers despite budget cuts and hiring restrictions in New York City. The NYC Teaching Fellows program recruits Fellows in the subject areas where there are anticipated vacancies and does not guarantee job placement for its Fellows in NYC public schools. With support from the Teaching Fellows office, Fellows are responsible for finding their own positions. As a result, some Fellows begin the school year without full-time teaching positions. Because Fellows benefit from a tuition subsidy from the NYC Department of Education, these Fellows are given a deadline to find positions or face dismissal from the program. June 2009 Fellows who had not secured a position by the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year have until January 15, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
