Poorly paid teachers work multiple jobs in North Carolina SHELBY HARRIS, Asheville Citizen Times July 18, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Half of Olivia Chiavaras’ time is spent across from other people — their hands in hers as she trims cuticles and spreads polish over freshly filed fingernails. The other half is spent in a classroom. Chiavaras’ main job — her calling, as she says — is as a third grade teacher at North Buncombe Elementary School where she’s been for nine years. Next year, she will shift to teach for the Buncombe County Schools Virtual Academy. But to pay her mortgage and feed her child, Chiavaras, like so many other North Carolina teachers, has had a second job since she began educating.
