Yep, I've long been of the view that teachers get paid a pittance for the long hours they put in and the sheet they have to deal with in the classroom and with parents who often think they know better.
I absolutely don't have the temperament for it. I think part of the problem is the unions have long been demonized (some justifiable, but a lot isn't) and too many people think a teacher loving what they do is enough, and while it help, it really isn't. And people think, well, it's not year round and whatever. But a 6 week summer break is a while, a lot of people get 2-4 weeks per year in vacation pay or sick leave. So that gap really isn't all that large.
Teachers salaries could double and it still wouldn't exactly be a great paying job. Their current pay is just absurdly low and you can't do it without some other source of income unless you're in higher education and tenured.
