Most teachers wouldn't last a month doing her job. She makes 20k a year less than teachers in this province, works 48 weeks a year, and has no company pension. She'll likely have to work until she's 65.

Teachers who moan about how hard they have it aren't doing themselves any favours when it comes to public perceptions about the job.
Sounds like your wife needs a union
