You... do realize most teachers don't get paid for the time they're not teaching, right?
So... yeah, four years of college education to get paid for, as you say, 6 hour days for 38 week a year.
Where most of the work you have to deal with must be done outside of regular school hours so you can trudge to work less than most people with regular 9 to 5 jobs to teach a group of snotty unappreciative children so they can earn more money working at a factory as a high school or college dropout.
Maybe we should pass a law to get them a weekly punch to the face for their trouble.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church.

Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
