This study investigates the trends in regard to teachers and moonlighting, the perceived effects of teacher moonlighting on classroom instruction, and attitudes of teachers toward their salaries and moonlighting. Besides the results of the research conducted in Texas, USA, we have also included results of a small pilot survey conducted among teachers in a few schools and in the Center of the Children’s Creativity in Kirov, Russia. The findings demonstrate that teachers would stop moonlighting if their salaries were higher, and the teachers perceive that their instructional practices would be better quality if they were not moonlighting.
