I completely understand the concern about cost at Stanford. However, as a current student in the STEP program, I can tell you that very few of us are going to have to pay back the full extent of our loans. Because of a generous grant from a benefactor, many of us received a $20,000 loan that is forgiven as long as we teach for five years. In addition to that, the APPLE program will forgive up to $13,000 additional for teaching for four years in a California Title I public school. Stanford has an excellent program, and is working to draw the best and brightest into the field by looking for innovative ways to offset the cost of education.

It doesn't make sense. At that cost you cannot produce enough teachers to make a difference.

While I am sure Stanford is a good school, I was amazed to see that tuition alone in $35,000 a year. This is more than most teachers make in their first year of teaching. I don't know how many prospective teachers can afford this. I recieved a teaching credential and a masters degree at CSU Dominguez Hills, was very well prepared and for only about $2,000 per year. Why on earth would anyone want to attend Stanford for a job that pays so little?
