your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
7Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you
walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8Tie them as symbols on
your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9Write them on the doorframes
of your houses and on your gates.

Teachers are still grossly underpaid and overworked

Ephesians 4:11 It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to
build up the body of Christ, 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God—a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature.
