    Well, consider that we also live in a world where American school districts, in major metro areas, are literally opening up low income housing dorms for teachers, so teachers can afford to subsist on a teacher’s salary.

    Low interest doesn’t mean much when you can’t even pay your rent with a job that requires a college education.

      Honestly, teachers are a bad comparison when it comes to the student loans debate.

      A lot of districts/states/townships have programs that forgive loans for teachers after a predetermined amount of time serving a public school.
