Low pay and Financial strain of teachers

You're absolutely right. Teachers give so much of their time, energy, and even their own money, yet they don’t always get the support they deserve. Incentive packages like bonuses or help with relocation would really help attract and keep good teachers. We need to value teachers not just with words, but with fair pay and real support.
