Got Tuition has found several new friends at the "Big Tent," a confluence of bloggers from across the nation meeting just outside the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, this week. The "tent" -- literally a two-story skeletal structure encased in tarp -- is housing several hundred bloggers and hosting several dozen passers-through, include panelists in breakout session upstairs, and luminaries like Dan Rather, Arianna Huffington, Markos Moulitsas, Van Jones and others.
On Monday night, Got Tuition met Joaquin Guerra of New Mexico, and Shanna Weisfeld of Austin, Texas. Shanna talked to us about the work she does with new teachers in Texas, who come to their first years of teaching with thousands of dollars in college debt. They take second and third jobs, she said, and they postpone other life choices.
