I laugh in the general direction of your 48 hour work week. 9/10 hour days and on call 24/7. And the only time I seem to get time off is when I have to take a day off of work because school and daycare are closed while everyone else is still working. I've gone 21 days straight without a day off. Worked for 48 hours straight.
I get that teaching can be hard to some but quit all your belly aching about it. My buddy pulls in over $140 a year and he screwed the pooch more then anyone I've ever met. Don't like it? Get another job that pays the same and doesn't give you summers off.
I love teachers and fully agree that they need to be paid. The argument can just get tiring.
