If they do they get paid for it. I know a few teachers don't work at all. I have a friend, a railroad buff who spends his summers riding trains. I also know many work at summer schools or jobs outside of the educational field. I also know that most who work summer school or other educational related jobs are paid extra for that.

The argument to me returns to the fact those who enter the teaching profession know what the income will be and willingly choose to become teachers. $40,000.00 a year is not a bad income and since many are married women that brings the household income up quite a bit.

Think you are underpaid? Choose another profession.
