Loan Forgiveness

by Sandra Caldwell

Dec 13, 2011

I have much the same story as everyone else. Not only do I have tremendous loans to get highly qualified but I also worked for many years in areas of economic downfall which also meant that teacher pay was low as well. Can't win for losing! Big business can get loan forgiveness but not poor teachers. I thought I would become a teacher to help children that grow up much like I did--how do I tell them that to go to college can cost them for the rest of their life!

Other than teaching people to be dumbed-down by easy button work or demeaning labor, like young adults, 9-12 and above, who's lives are status-quo ill taught to become as simple workers, to work for near slave labor wages, knowledge and wisdom, giving up on reaching out making learning to get into college through adult school (higher education) a dream, like reality, has become that much harder are they discrimin-hated [sic], under the sun. The same can be said for the easy life rich ill investor who cannot find anything better to do with their investments, until some one else comes along and leaves him/her out of life's inheritance, making the drop-outs if you will easy prey for terrorists willing to terrorize our rich nation, teaching the poor to learn mean ways.

Please, do not discrimin-hate the rich working for your higher learning.

But the same can not be said for broke-ass (poor-earner) who spirit is all rich, having HOPE TO GO ON,

yet not rich horse, who unlike teachers choose to give so that the same will not happen to others, we fill-in the GAP, some out-a-pocket, for prospective students and the likes to earn their General Education Diploma GED between high schools and colleges (GAP). But learning does not stop so why should progress!

Grad lol! Sorry for the rambling on. In short, yes there should be Loan Forgiveness for Higher Learning (Adult School) Teachers.

P.S. Happy Holidays Planet Earth
