==== Teacher Moonlighting and Burnout ====
A significant number of teachers have to work extra hours or other jobs to make up for low pay, with nearly 17% of teachers having a job outside the school system in 2020–21. Public school teachers also work more than the required 39.4 hours a week, with an average of 52 hours worked per week, only 25.2 of which is spent on teaching. This idea of teachers working extra hours or jobs has been named "teacher moonlighting". Moonlighting can consist of [[tutoring]], [[coaching]], [[Freelancer|freelance work]], or any other job outside of the schooling system. Around 44% of teachers in America participate in some type of moonlighting to supplement their income.<ref name=":5" /> Motivation for moonlighting was perceived to be pursuing interests, passions, or developing professionally, but the main reason for moonlighting was the view that the teacher salary was too low. The expense of living may exceed the teaching salary, and this causes educators to search for supplementary income to lower financial stress.<ref name=":5" /> However, the stress of another job may lead to [[teacher burnout]], which is classified as emotional exhaustion, [[depersonalization]], and reduced personal accomplishment.<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal |last1=Brackett |first1=Marc A. |last2=Palomera |first2=Raquel |last3=Mojsa-Kaja |first3=Justyna |last4=Reyes |first4=Maria Regina |last5=Salovey |first5=Peter |date=2010 |title=Emotion-regulation ability, burnout, and job satisfaction among British secondary-school teachers |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/pits.20478 |journal=Psychology in the Schools |language=en |volume=47 |issue=4 |pages=406–417 |doi=10.1002/pits.20478 |issn=1520-6807}}</ref>
