I must be living in a weird pocket of highly paid teachers. According to our school district substitute teachers get paid $250/day. Starting full time teachers start at $300/day with a bachelors degree. Get a district paid masters and that jumps to $450/day. If a teacher does any extras outside their normal in room teaching they get more bumps in pay.
Assistant coaches get $25/hour. Head coaches get $60/hour. This includes activities like school sponsored robotics, debate, competitive dance, etc.
Hell, many teachers are seeing six digits on their W-2 once all extras are accounted for. Granted we live in a high cost of living area (Thanks Microsoft and Amazon) but even then it's a pretty dam good deal IMO.
