I don't like the crap that teachers get. "Oh, they get all summer off, their jobs are easy!" Yeah well guys that put in sewer lines get all winter off, is that job easy too? Teaching isn't easy. But I hate the notion that they're above criticism just because it's hard and they have to deal with kids.

Slight devils advocate here, but it's very rare for any construction worker to get winters off. The one industry that really shuts down for winter is concrete pouring. Teachers do have a non labour intense job with wicked benefits and yes they're overpaid but I couldn't imagine having the patience of a Jr high teacher.
