Geeez. No they're not.

Incorrect once again.

They’ve got good benefits
Please list these for me. When they reach retirement eligibility in the LP, they earn 57k/year. I hope you don't think they go home with that, do you? They get to go home with 75% of 57k after 30 years of service.

and can retire at 52
Not sure where this number came from...? There is not "retirement age." Teachers earn 2.5%/year of their annual salary toward their retirement and in order to retire without taking a substantial penalty, MUST work 30 years. That's 75% of their salary they go home with as a pension.

Plus they chose their profession
What does this mean? In the private sector, people "choose" their professions. They also negotiate their salaries and can simply walk into their boss man's office and ask for a pay increase. If they don't get what they are looking for, they can take their services across the street.
Are you saying that because a teacher "chose" to be a teacher, they should not look to improve their take home pay? How does this make sense in your world?
Everything is going up right now, but teacher pay remains the same.
The situation is this; a single parent (teacher) with 2 kids in LP, cannot afford to LIVE in the parish in which they teach. Don't you think that's a bit silly?

Overall you made some good points, except this one.
Not affording to live (comfortably), is caused by being a single parent of 2 kids. Not unique to the teaching profession.
That said, I have no issues with teachers earning a higher salary. I'd hope it would attract more quality teachers to the profession and give more leverage for administrators to can the shitty ones.

And if the boss man says no, and the employee throws a fit and starts doing stupid shite like sick outs and not giving it their best, they can be shown the door

22 plus 30 is 52.
Medical, dental, paid time off
Wife’s a teacher, does car duty, home by 330
48k a year is 4 grand a month, plus 1k a month for dem kids in child support. So should be clearing 4k a month.
You’re still just dismissing that they work 190 days a year, minus their paid time off. Ur average baw with four weeks vacation is doing 240 days and he ain’t retiring with a guaranteed check at 52, so go ahead and tac on another 13 years.
Nobody hates it more than me that these gals wanted to be teachers but they knew it sucked.

So it’s a cost of living problem.
Ok then, let’s delve into this.
Why is their cost of living so high?
Are they the only ones facing these increasingly higher living costs?

They can if you consider their salary, child support, numerous tax credits/benefits, and potentially alimony.

Yes that sales tax is very high. Thankfully for single parents with 2 kids the sales tax was not increased.
