This is the crux of the matter (which I see Oalie posted), teachers can make $100K/year and perhaps are upset that they cant (although they can) make more, the fact is though that they are at their top earning potential for 15 of their 25 years of employment. They row through the earning brackets really quickly.
So yeah, all they can make is ~$100k but they're hitting that before being 35 and banking it all the way to retirement, in addition to all of the other benefits of their job.
Top-notch medical, golden pensions, 3 months off, etc.
Its a pretty sweet gig. Most teachers that I know understand that their potential lack of advancement financially after 10 years mitigates a lot of their other perks.
