Teachers at the top of the grid (10 years experience & 6 years of University education) make $103,111 in the CBE. So it's not outside the realm of possibility that a family with two teachers brings in $200k, especially if one of them is in Administration. A Principal at a large school makes $149,488. I bet a family with two full-time teachers is easily in the 90th to 95th percentile of household income in Alberta.
It's a tough job with good pay, excellent benefits, and a guaranteed inflation-protected defined benefit pension. You'll never catch me complaining about the pay - I think teachers are compensated very well.
