What's the deal with shcool teachers?

[fastboy21]

I'd hardly call teaching a "low paying job" --- most public teachers in my district make over 100k / year, get excellent benefits, a property right to their job (tenure) and a pension guarentee which typically includes health insurance for life...

I agree that you have virtually 0% chance of striking it rich, but it isn't by a stretch a bad profession to go into...especially if you are a good at it and enjoy doing it.

The real resentment in faculty rooms is usually towards mooching co-worker teachers who earn the same salary/benefits and overpaid administrators that justify by their position by interfering with teachers trying to teach.
