I have taught Special Ed. and Math in a Title 1 school for 12 years. I am getting a Master's degree in Leadership of Learning. Now, I have over $15,000 in school loans and I just found out that I do not qualify for the Teacher Loan Forgiveness program because I had an outstanding loan of less than $4,000 in Oct. 1998. Where does the heartache end for teachers?
Holly I hear ya! I just called today to inquire about this b.c I have taught in the same urban school now for the 5 years required. I meet all criteria except the "no loans before 1998" part. Seems a bit age-ist!
