and not once did I make enough to be out of the partial payment program. I actually had the student loan officer from the dept of ed (during Bush) tell me: "You should quit teaching and get a job that pays better, pay off your loans, then you can go be a teacher." As if I was on some lark and taking a gap year or something. No ma'am, I'm teaching special ed in a title one school and I am eating peanut butter on old bread for at least one meal a day, if not two.
