$53k for 10 months of work is not peanuts. [/quote]

So you think $33/hour is appropriate pay for your child's teacher. That is peanuts.[/quote]

Benefits galore.[/quote]

What benefits are we talking about? I’m a teacher and we’ve always gotten cheaper health insurance through my husband’s large company. He’s at a non profit that offers better 403b options and considerably higher matching than my district. He gets 6 weeks paid vacation yearly + federal holidays. I have a Master’s and make significantly less than he does with only a Bachelor’s. I am not unhappy with my job but the people acting like the benefits are some great rarity probably don’t talk to a lot of people who work for other large corporations or well funded NPOs.[/quote]

Pensions are part of the benefits/compensation package - school systems don't offer matching because they and/or the state are contributing to your pension/retirement account.   The amt. of leave your husband  is  provided is unusual for the private sector so think in comparison to most private employers - [/quote]
NPOs/NGOs typically offer good benefits to offset the lower salaries (compared to the private sector).  Teaching likewise provides pension benefits, 8 weeks leave in the summer, two weeks in winter, and one week in spring.  I think that teachers are underpaid... BUT... the guaranteed leave during summers and breaks is a HUGE perk that those outside of teaching NEVER get to experience.  Most of my colleagues (and me) can only take a week off at a time, and even then, we are getting calls about some sort of "emergency" within hours of us being out the door.  Our typical year round workweek is 45-50 hours a week.  [b]I would agree to a MASSIVE pay cut to be able to take 8 weeks off (in a row!) every single year.[/b][/quote]
