Part of the reason they are underpaid is because plenty of people think that's what the job is.
I was a band teacher so I think I didn't work nearly as hard as someone who did a lot of paper grading, disciplining, etc. But even I had to put in a lot of extra hours, including extracurricular stuff (and no teacher gets away with not doing any).
