[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's the pay. I think it's that teachers have no autonomy, have to teach to the test and can't kick disruptive students out of their classrooms. [/quote] Teachers where I live only work around 180 days a year and get great benefits and can retire with an amazing pension. The compensation seems in line with the market given the amount of time worked and quality of the benefits.[/quote] Are you sure about that? If teachers only work 180 days, does that mean school is in session less than 180 days? Otherwise, teachers either are 1) never planning, grading, meeting with colleagues or parents outside of class (unlikely) or they are doing these things unpaid (much more likely). But in all probability, teachers are actually working between 185 and 190 days on the clock and probably another 30-45 days off the clock. [/quote]
