Why are teachers payed so little?

Teachers do not work a full year. For example, in Texas the teachers' contract covers only 187 days from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, no overtime. Most teachers get a “prep period” to prepare for the next day’s lessons. They don’t get paid for after school tutoring or work they take home to grade. They don’t get paid holidays or paid during the summer months. Yep, in Texas they’ll build a $70 million dollar stadium before giving teachers a pay raise.

Teachers are paid enough considering the hours they do and no manual work is involved. They are paid more than process workers and warehouse workers.

They are not "payed" at all.   They are "paid", and  considering what they 

do, it's never enough.

The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

@Y - this is not true if you only average those salaries of people with at least a bachelors degree.

In 45 plus states, teachers average wages are more then the states average. How much more then those they teach should they be making?

huge numbers of them.  inability to measure results.  vast opinion differences in observed effectiveness.  lack of parental decision making [what if parents could choose which teacher their child would learn with?  -- on the public dime?]  since parents don't get to vote and can't figure out which teacher will be more effective for their child, they naturally don't want to pay more for what they know isn't likely to be good service.

Wrong.  i think teachers are over-paid.  My real estate taxes for my school district are murder.
