    Maybe pay teachers enough that they don’t have to do this if they don’t want to?

    And if they do want to, how does it affect their efficacy as a teacher?

      I strongly agree with both points, but it should be noted she was making almost 75k as a teacher according to the article which is definitely on the high end for Ohio teachers

      was also a cheerleading coach and yearbook adviser with a salary of $74,720 at the time she resigned.

      Edit:
      Reading more into the article, she’s been teaching for 30 years. 75K for that sort of experience is ridiculous

        75K being the high end for educator salaries anywhere in the US is a disgrace.

        Tax our corporations, tax our wealthy, pay our teachers, rebuild the middle class.

          Absolutely. You shouldn’t have to dump 30+ years of your life into your job just to get a wage that should be the baseline salary for your job.

    I’m not saying that teachers shouldn’t be paid more, but people need to realize that teaching is one of the few professions that still offer pensions.

      I don’t know about you, but the grocery stores around here don’t accept pensions as payment.
