I would be extremely surprised if there were zero complaints from your friends, I haven't met a single teacher in my life that has zero complaints. This comment demonstrates your lack of information and understanding on the issues faced by teachers in our province.

Agreed. This is happening throughout the private sector. However, in the private sector, have you received raises of 0%, 0%, and 2% over the past three years while receiving outstanding performance reviews? What about bonuses? Flex days? I assume you understand how inflation erodes purchasing power.

So you should not be compensated for time worked in excess of your contractual obligations? Got it.
You should also be expected to subsidize the education program with your after tax dollars? Got it.
Private sector employees are also guaranteed vacations, sick days, flex days. If a teacher needs a sub, they have to pay for it out of their pocket. How often to you think a teacher gets sick during a year because of working with children?
Inform yourself of the actual facts. A simple "yes" is ignorant.
