So, its hard to argue they aren't well remunerated. Especially when you consider (1) the time-off (2) the bachelor degrees most teachers have (generally arts and science) aren't highly valued in the private sector.

I'm pretty sure the only degree all teachers have is a b.ed. It doesn't matter what your other degrees are. To teacher here you need a teaching degree which I'm pretty sure includes course work in math, science and humanities as well as whatever subject matter you choose to teach. The heavily prized degrees are no more valuable when it comes to the skills required to teach the most basic subject matter. Nor do they include a guarantee of being well rounded.
