I'm sorry to hear that. I am not a teacher, but I work for a school district. The teachers I work with are doing ok. Some work some kind of job during the summer. My college friend I metioned above does not work over the summer, but does do a little coaching. He doesn't live a super opulent lifestyle, but it's a pretty good one.

My only point was that it is possible. I think it's hard enough to get and keep good teachers. I think J would make a great teacher and if a little encouragement leads to him figuring out how to make it work, everyone (kids, J, the community) wins.
