You keep saying the word "teachers"; but that word does not appear in the text of the article. Why focus on the teachers in particular?
Also, there are various incentives for teachers to publish books. Money is just one of them (I wonder how much revenue books bring to the teachers). Prestige and academic recognition is another. There are probably others still. How realistic is the depiction of a deprived teacher whose livelihood depended on the books he published once every several years?
I can only speak for myself, my family, and colleagues, but it's not just teachers. Plenty of other professionals are being affected too.
