Your only options are to either refinance the loans or to take a deferment based on financial need (which of course means no payments, but the interest will continue to accrue more than likely). You mention she has a masters, but not what it is in. Most schools want teachers to have their Masters, so you may want to have her do some investigating to see if there could be other issues at play (such as she has started her base salary request too high). If she does have a degree in education, she may want to consider doing some tutorial work on the side as a way to bring in income while staying home with the kids. Good luck!

refinance at a lower interest rate if possible for a longer period of time. as things get better you can always pay them off early.
