i know this is the common refrain; and while i am sure there is a co-hort of teachers that this statement is true - i feel like the majority of teachers put in some extra time in evenings to get things done.
also, some of them buy supplies and what not with some of their own money.
To me the only real big upside of being a teacher is a nice DB pension plan and i suppose the extra time off in summer, christmas and a spring break - otherwise, they are likely working just as hard as someone making a similar salary in private sector
