[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left last year. I’m even Nationally Board Certified and decided to call it quits. All I ever wanted to be was a teacher and I naively went into this profession thinking I’d change the world.  I didn’t even mind working overtime and on weekends because this is my passion. But sadly I learned it’s not worth the low pay and constant harassment from parents, kids, and unsupportive admin. Still miss what it used to be, but the climate and system have changed and it’s become so toxic.[/quote]

Yep, also NBCT and I'm done after this year. Today while restraining a child, they threatened to bite me and all I could think of was the time off I'd get if he did.

It's time to go. [/quote]

Last year (and this year), I wished I could get Covid so I'd get 5 days off. I was jealous of my fellow teachers who did. Sad but true.[/quote]

PP here and you can't believe how many times I tried to will that rapid test to a positive.

Also lmao to the person who told me to educate myself about loan forgiveness. You're wrong[/quote]

I posted a link to the rules. Teachers work for the government and are eligible for public service loan forgiveness just like any other public servant. If you would rather argue with me than read the rules and get your loans forgiven, that's on you.[/quote]

Yep, you know better than me, a teacher who's been doing this and been denied. Ty for your hard work in posting a link[/quote]

Teachers are eligible for PSLF. I don't know know why you were denied, but I know teachers who got their loans forgiven.[/quote]

Yes they probably worked at title 1 schools[/quote]

I worked in a title 1 and got denied.  I consolidated my loans in to a new loan due to a lower interest rate and that disqualified me since they weren’t the original staffers loans at that point.[/quote]

Yes, you do have follow the rules in order to qualify for forgiveness. That is true for everyone, not just teachers.

Sometimes I wonder, am I the only person who bothers to read the rules? Like I get that some people had bad servicers and got rejected for BS reasons. But it was very clear to me from the beginning that loan consolidation would delay forgiveness. Read the rules people.[/quote]

Until recently, 97% of teachers got denied.  Fudge the rules.   They were designed to make broken promises and systems.  It was an unfunded mandate from the Bush years.  I consolidated before I planned to be a teacher.  It happened to numerous staff I know personally.[/quote]

Not just teachers.

Under Biden, lots of people are getting forgiveness. Take advantage of it.[/quote]

I am a sap who had to pay off his loans before they finally fixed things.  It took more than 15 years before they finally made a workable system for teachers to get student loans actually forgiven.[/quote]
