You can not claim to care about children and not value and support those who spend the most time with the largest number of children: teachers. You canโ€™t claim to care about communities and not invest in what is at the center of the community: its schools.

Teachers, RT this if it is impossible for you get your grading, planning, parent/guardian outreach and all other additional requirements (on top teaching) completed during your contractual hours. Just curious.
