I make no claims about a teachers contentment based on pay. In fact I don’t know if it would be good for schools and children to get people to increase pay to a level that people who don’t have the calling want to do the job. I think the fact is that there is a shortage of teachers in our area shows the demand is there. Others have posted that the district loses a large number of teachers each year. I have seen this happen several times in the last year to my spouses colleagues who have chosen to move to a position at a private school or move to a community where the income to cost of living ratio was better. These things suggest to me that their pay is too for our community. You also asked about time off. I know that one of the main things missing in our district over the last year has been substitute teachers. The lack of subs makes it very difficult for teachers to take the meager amount of mid year time they have off without negatively impacting their coworkers who are forced to take a class and a half on a regular basis or sacrifice their preparation time to cover a teacher who is out sick. I don’t think teachers necessarily need more time off but I think they need to be able to more easily take off the time they are supposed to have.

I agree that engineers and teachers work for other reasons than pay and time off. I have no doubt that most have a deep calling to the profession. But... this entire thread is about how much they should be paid. Do you agree that if they got paid more, or had more time off, they'd be more content? I apologize if I missed the point you tried to make.

Thanks. If you have the relevant info, please post it here. How far off were my numbers?

I'd like to understand why people are downvoting your replies here, which seem perfectly reasonable.

That seems to be inline with bosco's comment; They do make way more.
