    Post: Teacher forgiveness is not fair to the hard-working adult

    Posted by Dee on 7/28/08

    I too feel victim to this unfair federal forgiveness
    program. I graduated in 1996 and became a teacher in an at-
    risk school. I was a hard-working adult student paying my
    way through full time school with student loans and part
    time jobs. I did not have parents to help me. after
    meeting every requirement except one (my loans were not
    all paid off by 1998. Are they crazy I just started
    working and never missed a student loan payment and they
    denied me! I work with the most challeging populations and
    I still owe 12,000 and have been paying this bloody loan
    since 1996. I feel the feds favor the young student with
    help from their parents. who can pay a loan back that
    fast? I agree this others who stated that a petition and
    some letters need to be written to push the date back. I
    do not feel i will ever be able to pay this back. Now I
    have a mortage, family and other expenses not to mention i
    paid for two Master's Degrees and a Post Professional Dip
    in administration all out of pocket since 98 because I
    refused to take out anymore loans. something needs to be
    done about this because it is totally unfair to us hard-
    work self-sufficient teachers who where not given a free
    ride.
