Re: student loan forgiveness

I also found out what a bunch of horse pucky the whole teacher loan forgiveness program is. My first loan funded in August of 1998, becaused the semester started in August. So of course it is before the October 7, 1998 cutoff. Now isn't that just convenient. I don't know what we can do about this kind of crap. I wrote to my state senator and was told, sorry, we didn't make the rule. There should be some way we could ban together and fight this!
