Thanks Eric1600 & knieft, well stated.
I would like to add that if you're looking at the position of "teacher" from the perspective of your school days 20 or 40 years ago, you don't have an entirely accurate picture of what present day teachers encounter on a daily basis. I've had limited exposure myself (I'm not a teacher) but from what little I have seen, I wouldn't sign up for the job even at $150,000 a year.
