[QUOTE="DriveInDriveOut, post: 2683480, member: 44954"] I wouldn't complain about that, but I'm not so sure that idea is all it's cracked up to be. We have a half-assed version of that now, 5k forgiven for 5 years of service, 17.5k forgiven for 5 years of math, science, or special-ed. It hasn't solved our nationwide teacher shortage for starters. Second, it's a government handout that benefits the higher education industry more than the teachers. When the government gives guaranteed loans out like candy to anyone that ask for one, it's a solid bet that education costs are going to consistently rise exponentially. We need to address the costs rather than just throwing more money at it after the fact. A better solution would be to just compensate teachers more in the first place so that paying the loans back wouldn't even be worth talking about. [/QUOTE]
