    Sorry, no, that’s not the reason she was ill or what country she was in.

    Also-

    Most teachers have taken out student loans to support their education. Just over 60% of all full-time, public school teachers—about 2.1 million—have taken out student loans to pay for their education. Rates of borrowing among teachers are similar to the borrowing rates of all individuals who have recently completed a bachelor’s or a master’s degree. Among all teachers, 55.5% of teachers with a bachelor’s degree and 63.2% of teachers with a master’s degree have ever borrowed for their education, while 60.8% of all individuals who completed a bachelor’s degree and 66.2% of those who completed a master’s degree in any major in 2020 had taken out student loans. However, the borrowing rates among program completers who majored in education are higher than the average program completer in any major at both the bachelor’s (75.9%) and master’s (76.4%) degree levels of educational attainment.

    Many teachers are still repaying their student loans. Roughly 1.3 million teachers are repaying their student loans, suggesting that the resumption of student loan repayments affects close to 4 of every 10 teachers (37.2%), nearly one third of whom (11.5% of all teachers) still owe their entire balance. As expected by the typical timing and structure of student loans and teachers’ ability to repay over time, the portion of teachers who carry loan balances decreases as teachers age and gain teaching experience. Still, a sizeable portion of teachers carry loan debt well into their careers: For example, almost 2 of every 10 teachers over 61 years old are still repaying loans. On average, teachers who were repaying their student loans report paying $342 a month, which exceeds the amount the typical borrower pays toward their student loans monthly ($200–$299).

    Maybe stop talking about conditions in the U.S. like you’re an expert since you apparently aren’t even here.

      And I won’t answer, solely because I don’t like your bizarre belief that other people’s own experiences (in a country you probably know nothing about so would just makeup a reason to discard it) are subject to your interrogation. This was the experience of my relative, you can believe me or not, but please tell me how me telling you the country and condition(which I don’t know the name of anyways) would enable you to evaluate what I said is true.

      Just over 60% of all full-time, public school teachers—about 2.1 million—have taken out student loans to pay for their education.

      This doesn’t cover the average amount. Also, 60% is not some overwhelming majority.

      Maybe stop talking about conditions in the U.S. like you’re an expert since you apparently aren’t even here.

      What? You know immigrants exist right?

      My mom and her mom are both public school teachers. I went to school in the US.

        You won’t answer because you made it up. Otherwise you could easily tell me the country and the disorder.

          You’re not answering. Everything I’ve said is true, it would be pretty easy to find me connected to this account with a little sleuthing. I don’t really see the need to “prove” myself to a wannabe manipulator/bully.

            I’m not planning on stalking you. All you have to do is name the country and the disorder and you won’t, so you’re clearly just lying.

                Calling you a liar isn’t bullying you. And no you didn’t tell me why you wouldn’t, you told me to stalk you.

                  It is a bullying tactic to use someones refusal to play into your trap as “evidence of lying”

                  And no you didn’t tell me why you wouldn’t, you told me to stalk you.

                  I said: " You have no way to audit it anyways, you’re just looking for a reason to dismiss it. So there’s really no point in me bothering to explain the situation."

                  And then told you why her treatment was refused: “I’ll tell you the reason, she was deemed too old for it to be financially viable and was just offered hospice care”

                  And then told you why I continue to refuse to answer: “And I won’t answer, solely because I don’t like your bizarre belief that other people’s own experiences (in a country you probably know nothing about so would just makeup a reason to discard it) are subject to your interrogation. This was the experience of my relative, you can believe me or not, but please tell me how me telling you the country and condition(which I don’t know the name of anyways) would enable you to evaluate what I said is true.”

                  I am telling you, there is no real capacity to research this. First of all, I doubt you speak the language, and second, its not like there’s a public statement saying “Old people will be abandoned and treatment will be refused”

                    I can’t trap you or make you lie.

                    All you had to do was name the country and the disorder.

                    You can’t because it was a lie.

                    You can make all the excuses you like to not name a country and a disorder, but it doesn’t make it any less of a lie.
