I enjoyed this place when I was in Charleston. Thought it was really good compared to what I usually get in New Orleans. Of course, I felt some items I do better myself on my smoker.

1. They are with your child for 8 hours, 182 days a year
If your child sleeps 8 hours a night, then you are active with your child for 8 hours each day. Now, if you bring your child to a sitter or they go in the afternoon, then it becomes less.
If during the summer you work, they go to a sitter for 8+ hours a day (usually more)
Then yeah, I can see many teachers who are with students more than their parents are.
2. Wait, parents actually teaching their kids is a bad thing? My parents read with me, taught me letters, numbers, etc before I ever entered school. Then worked with me every day after school to ensure that I would have success.
3. Teachers aren't driven by test scores, districts are
They deserve a raise in the sense that prices have risen and salaries have not. They deserve to be compensated and given a real world salary when prices have unfairly out gained their salary.

You are right, teachers went in knowing their pay. Just like everyone goes into a job knowing what they will earn. The issue is that they are not fairly compensated for that initial pay. While you may routinely get bonuses and pay increases, teachers receive "step" pay, which is usually 150-500 per year, and a stipend of 1000-1500 every 3 years.
So the pay is not keeping up with the times. Those quoting "average teacher pay" should look at districts and see what they pay. Most teachers are between 45 and 50k. The data is manipulated by those working at the central office, who are still classified as "teachers" while making close to six figures.
