Regarding the kidney...Huh?
Regarding the second, around here that $45K would probably require a Masters and a lot of experience. If fact, I think I'll look that up. I'll let you know if I'm off base.
Teaching is not a 9-5 job. Unless you never give homework or tests and don't do lesson plans.
Our elementary and some middle schools are year-round these days. About the same amount of time off, but not all at once.
I think it's tenure more than unions that make it difficult to get rid of "bad" teachers -- and I will readily admit there are some of those. Thankfully, a lot of school systems have gotten rid of the tenure system.
Finally, there isn't enough money to make me put up with what teachers in some schools do today.
