I would be for this, but small towns and poor areas make it hard to consider. I am paying student loans and don't have a lot of extra money. Before anyone goes on about student loans: I carefully looked at wages, benefits, bonuses and raises (teacher pay is public knowledge in my state). I became a teacher just in time for a 6 year pay freeze, reduction of benefits, and insurance went to crap. I still don't make what I made in the private sector as a transportation planner for a trucking company.
Leave and organize a teaching co-op for parents who want to homeschool their students.
