The hours suck
8am-4pm, 5 days a week with two months off in the summer sucks?

I would take those hours any day of the week.

the pay sucks
since when?

They don't end up making millions (but who really does) they have a very good starting wage, great benefits/pension and insane job security.

doesn't sound too bad to me.

and the recognition sucks.
How does the recognition suck? You hear people talking all the time about how great there grade 2 teacher was and how they were the reason they were able to become a super billionaire/cure cancer etc.

The major factor as to why they are terrible teachers out there is that it is easy to do nothing and still keep your job at the same rate of pay. Other than a sense of pride there really is no reason not to be a terrible teacher.
