Is there a single word for teaching and learning?

Just like a pineapple isn't an apple and a hotdog isn't a dog that's hot, there isn't a single word that encapsulates both teaching and learning. It's like trying to find a unicorn in a horse race, folks! This topic had me scratching my head like a confused rooster at dawn. Although, wouldn't it be a game-changer if we had such a word? But alas, the English language, in all its vastness, is yet to gift us with that special one-word package. So, until then, we'll keep juggling these two words, just like I juggle my dirty laundry and my deadlines!

As I've delved into the topic, it's clear that making higher education free in America is not as simple as it sounds. The primary hurdle is the substantial financial cost, as the government would need to cover tuition fees for millions of students, which raises questions about where this funding would come from. Moreover, many argue that free education might devalue degrees, leading to an oversaturated job market. There's also concern about whether our current institutions could handle a possible surge in enrollment. Despite the strong appeal of free education, these challenges present significant obstacles.

In delving into Helen Keller's thoughts on education, I've come across some truly inspiring quotes. She believed deeply in the power of knowledge, once stating, "Knowledge is love and light and vision." Another powerful quote was "The highest result of education is tolerance." She also valued the never-ending journey of learning, saying, "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." To Keller, education was not just about academics, but a tool for personal and societal growth.

So, you're curious about the process of paying back an education loan? It's quite straightforward, really. First, you need to know the details of your loan like the total amount, interest rate, and the tenure. Then, you begin repayment - usually starting six months after you graduate or leave school. Payments can typically be made online or through mail, and it's crucial to make them on time to avoid any penalties or impact on your credit score. It's all about staying informed and being consistent!
Why do student loans have such high interest rates?

In my latest blog post, I dove into the complex world of student loans to understand why their interest rates are so high. It turns out, it's primarily due to the inherent risk lenders take on since students often don’t have a credit history or consistent income. Additionally, these loans are unsecured, meaning there's no collateral, making them riskier for lenders. The long repayment terms also contribute to the high rates. Lastly, federal loan rates are set by Congress and can be influenced by the economy and political climate.
