You also probably dont know that teachers work outside of school doing IPP's, Lesson Plans, Report Cards, in addition to marking tests and assignments.
They also need to spend there breaks doing supervision and come in early or stay late for meetings.
They get paid well because they were trained. Its a rough job and pointing at there salary and acting like a monkey makes you look ######ed because of the amount of work these people have to put in.
The sad thing is its probably your fault your child is doing poorly in school and you blame the teacher instead of yourself.

This is a common misconception among ignorant teachers.
At no point did I point at their salary. At no point did I say they make too much money. All I said is that I wouldn't buy a teacher a present (other than the payment of my property taxes).
Further, every job I've ever worked had requirements outside my regular hours. My career also does (far in excess of teachers). I suppose it is unfortunate for me that I don't have summers off and don't get gifts for doing my job.
