   Teacher Loan Forgiveness -- The Taxpayer-Teacher Protection Act
   (P.L. 108-409)
*******************************************************************
 Teachers who teach math, science, or special education & who have 
 taught for five years in a Title I school may be eligible for new loan 
 forgiveness limits.  The Taxpayer-Teacher Protection Act (P.L.
 108-409) authorizes up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness to eligible 
 highly qualified math, science & special education teachers.  This 
 increase of $12,500 above the previous loan limits is meant to ease 
 the shortage of teachers in key subject areas.

"Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in."

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
