Most school districts won't hire comprehensible input teachers. Administrators think it is just lazy teaching and doesn't work. It is so contrary to everything they have been teaching about active learning for their entire lives. And if you do get hired as a comprehensible input teacher, they will abuse you to the point you quit. A few districts do comprehensible input, but even there, administrators don't get it and aren't on board with it.
