Btw BostonCard, McClure's grad plan do not (at the moment) include Stanford:

Following graduation this spring, McClure will be in the Teach for America Memphis Corps working as a public school special education teacher. There, she intends to pursue a master's in education from Johns Hopkins and a career in the field of education.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to.  My point that staying at Stanford would not have precluded getting a Masters in Education, since Stanford has a School of Education (and a very good one at that).  Of course, given that she is picking Hopkins, she may well have concluded that she will end her volleyball career.

Stanford School of Education is highly ranked but it does not focus on teaching. Rather it is known for research and curriculum development. If your passion were teaching, it’s not where you would go. Teach for America  puts  talented young people in the classroom right away. Its critics, and I am not one, note that there is minimal teacher training associated with the program. Full disclosure: I have been a modest financial supporter of Teach for America.
