Educator Warns that "Teachers Pay Teachers" Can Actually Get You Fired

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when kids were home and reduced to learning via ZOOM, that's when a lot of folks really understood how difficult it is to be a teacher. The discourse on social media revolved around getting kids back into schools, and while some of that had to do with their mental health, let's be honest here. Parents needed a break from their children — which is totally OK.

Now that we're mostly on the other side of the pandemic, it seems as if the eternal gratitude felt towards teachers has slowly dissipated. Dare I say, it was in trouble pre-pandemic, as well. All this to say that if teachers, who are famously underpaid, want to earn extra money for helpful teaching tools they create in the classroom, why not? Unfortunately this teacher recently learned that doing this could get her fired. Sadly, that was a teachable moment.
