Fricken Rich - check your data http://teacherportal.com/teacher-salaries-by-state or http://www.teachersalaryinfo.com/average-teacher-salary.html. Teachers earn nowhere near $100,000. The national averages were
$49,720 in 2009 and $48,353 in 2008. The range is upper 20's to 60. Many teachers do not make enough to support a family with two children. Many teachers use the 2.5 - 3 month vacations to work a part time jobs. Perhaps your 100,000 figure relates to university professors. I have no data there, but its also a separate subject.
