🧩 Special education teachers typically earn even more — 1% to 19% higher than other teachers at the same grade level.

Great info @usafacts.org

This post is a good example of something I suggested earlier. This image appears in the article https://usafacts.org/answers/how-much-do-teachers-get-paid-in-the-us/country/united-states/, but the metadata preview for that article is a different image. So you share an actual image and have no link back to your site.

What you want to do instead is modify the article link with a query string parameter or fragment that will both navigate the user to the desired image inside the article, *and* tell the server to swap out the usual metadata preview for this image.

If you do that, then instead of posting an image file, you post a link back to the article and show the image you want as the metadata preview for the article. Users will navigate to the correct location inside the article and are now on your site.

And we want a "share this image" link available to article readers so that they also can do the same -- they can share the image link on social media, it will show the image correctly as a preview, but it is always a link back to the original content.

Now do a chart on how much public school teachers take out of their pockets to supplement their classroom supplies.
