Problem is, many of the teachers are irresponsible bleeding heart liberals who are hurting rather than helping the children.
Let ‘em pay their damned bills the way the rest of us do!
They KNOW how much money that teacher’s make.....plus they have turned into PROPAGANDISTS!
The majority of TEACH grants, 66 percent, are converted into Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans which must be paid back with interest, according to the Office of Management and Budget.
The senators said that many of those conversions are the result of small paperwork errors.
Yeah, this is really how the story ends. What kind of journalism job is this? Do they decide to bail after 1-2 years and not meet their four year obligation? Or is there really something else involved here?
No, just no. Take responsibility for yourself. Two, the neglected communities exist for a reason. I did not cause it in any way, so do not make me pay for this give-away.
A few thoughts here. These types of grants and programs have been around for a long time. My mother was in some sort of program in the 1960’s where she got a scholarship in exchange for teaching in the school of the government’s choice for a few years.
A lot of this money goes to additional certification courses for people with college degrees (now there is a racket that should be examined). There are private foundations, like Teach for America that do this too.
If you are willing to finish the program it is a good deal. What it looks like from the article is that there are a ton of clerical errors.
The government pencil pushers are the problem, not the teachers.
One more reason not to trust the government with anything that affects my daily life. Imagine a “clerical error” on an order for surgery or a social security payment.
Ping!
The USA used to be ranked first in education among developed nations. Then the federal government (DoE) got involved in public education. Now we are ranked last in 12K education.
Public schools are nothing more than propaganda halls for students and money mills for outrageously paid administrators and over paid teachers. Abolish the Department of Education.
How about “fixing” the real problem—that us taxpayers will be stuck paying the bill for these deadbeats?
you incur the debt, you pay it off. get a summer job. take responsibility for your self.
government management has turned these grants into groans
“To show our appreciation for America’s great teachers”
F those 80 IQ leftwad buckets of dog crap.
“but 12 years of poor government management has turned these grants into groans for thousands of teachers”
If that’s true, if the grants were converted into loans, then this appears to be an injustice that should be corrected—even if the beneficiaries are un-hung traitors.
