I agree. I have student loans from 1994 and just my luck four years later they want to forgive loans for teachers. I guess teaching prior to 1998 doesn't matter. They claim the loan forgiveness is in response to anticipated teacher shortages. However, since I began teaching in 1994 it was suppose to be a teacher shortage. As ususal teachers get screwed.
