Teachers screwed again... [View all]

A $4,000 grant led them to teach tough subjects in poorer schools. For minor errors on forms, they were told to pay it back, with interest

Math teacher Maggie Webb said she mailed in her yearly certification forms on time, despite not receiving them from the company managing the program. The company, FedLoan, said it didn’t receive the paperwork, so she sent them again — but then was told it was too late. “I was working in a low-income school and I still am," Webb told NPR. "And I don't know why I'm being punished for that.”
