The US Department of education is holding a claim against me. They are requesting to take my federal and state income taxes. I normally get about $3,500 back every year. If they take this amount, I will have my loans paid off in 4 years.
I have tried to go on a payment plan. The collection department told me they can not accept my offer. I asked to pay $100 a month. I only make $12 an hour and I am a single parent. They told me the lowest they will take is $240 a month. There is no way I can pay that.
Should I just let them take my income taxes? At least i’ll have the loan paid off in roughly 4 years. I know I am in the wrong b/c I am in default. Is any one else going through this
This is a prime example, along with comments from several of your answers to your question of why applying for FAFSA loans can destroy a person’s whole life!
FAFSA application will not allow an age less than 24 years old who cannot answer NO to any one of 7 criterion questions to meet an independent status instead of dependent status. An age less than 24 years old independent child cannot apply on their own merits must rely on parents income, who are trying to save for their retirement!
DOE is the agency that take your income taxes when you got rent due, daycare costs, grocery to buy, school uniforms, gas for a raggedy vehicle and rob your LIFE completely. Why? The government, Congress, whoever, is supposed to help citizens not make one agency ruin you while the other one in conjunction with them destroy your life. The collection agencies are JERKS, yes they’re only doing their job, heard it all before, whatever! Even when DOE take your income taxes over the next 4 years, on the 4th year when you paid up, your credit remains trashed from that day until 7 years later!!
Your entire life becomes screwed because you only wanted to better your life. The government is in cahoots with the schools/universities, which are businesses only. Universities could care less whether you graduate or not! Due to circumstances, sometime beyond your control, DOE and their collection agenciess cannot even allow you to pay $100 for a well made attempt to pay what you already know you owe. That’s the government for you!
I have a bachelor’s degree in Sociology.
I want to become a history teacher.
I have taken a lot of history like classes in my Sociology Degree?
Do I need to take education classes, should I look into applying for a Master’s degree in Social Studies Education?
Where should I start to become a social studies teacher?
btw, I’m 23.
Some states have a 1 year program to gain a certificate in teaching. In others, you need to earn a M.Ed in Education. (2 years) Also, Teach for America is a national volunteer service that culminates in teaching certification.
Can they control whether or not students who do not go to the public high schools can play sports for them?
No, that (and most other public school decisions) are made at the state and district level.
I am going down there next week for the Teacher Job Fair. Has anyone else relocated to North Carolina and found a teaching job? Are you happy there?
Teaching jobs are fairly easy to find in North Carolina. You didn’t say what you will be teaching but it shouldn’t be a problem, I would say if you can find an opening in the Piedmont Triad that would be the best place to live and teach.I live in Winston-Salem and we are not too far from the coast or mountains. I have lived in other states but no place like North Carolina. And we have nice weather year round–like everywhere you will have extreme temps. sometimes.
Good luck !!!!
ps. You would love being a Tar heel !!
I am in the 6th grade. I am having a social studies fair. The theme for this year is "Innovation in History: Impact and Change." I need a good topic for this. I don’t want it too challenging as I am only 12. I don’t want it too easy either. I am not 2. Please help me and thanks ahead of time.

My friend had asked me a favour to find her a documentary that was on about 2-3 years ago about private school kids in the uk who swapped places with kids from a state school in Wembley?
If you find anything about that, links or so will be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
no but their was one about a load of kids living on their own for 6 months
I have a few questions for you.
I have heard of this job but I only know one person who tried but he now live in Seattle Washington.
My sister wants to be a teacher- but she has bad credit- would a potential employer do a credit check before hiring her? Shes worried her past credit card debt might hurt her chances to landing a teaching job..
No and thank god. I also have bad credit and I still work in a school.
They will run a background check on you. But, it’s to make sure you have not committed any crimes, been in trouble with the law, etc.
At my middle school, someone stole 17$, a locket, and a white board. Me and 2 other girls I work well with are assigned to solve it. Any suggestions?

I just started taking piano lessons, and my teacher instructed me to get a keyboard with full size keys. My dad has an organ that he is giving me, so i need to know if it will be beneficial to practice on the organ. So i dont have to go out and buy a keyboard!
Piano performance is much different from organ or keyboard performance, the matter is not just the keys, but the piano has much varieties of expressive techniques and sound control skills, and you could never be a good or professional pianist without having a real and a good piano.
