That is NOT underpaid by ANY standard, not even for people who work 50 weeks a year.
Agreed. If I understand correctly, teachers can receive their compensation in increments which are paid throughout the full year so they do not lack a paycheck in the summer. They may also receive lifetime post-retirement health insurance benefits? And in some areas they may "retire" from one district with full benefits and continue to receive those retirement benefits while working full time in another district? Sweet!
