Also married to a teacher. Average per hour (assuming an 8 hour day and 200 days of work per year) is $31. She has 15 years of experience (took 10 years off to stay home with the kids).

That’s the part many seem to forget about. “Education” degrees are some of the least demanding in all of academe, and the SAT scores of Ed-track students reflect that. Particularly in light of that, teachers get paid quite well.

It sure isn't like getting an engineering degree or other tech field requiring the application of math or other rigorous problem solving!

I had a neighbor who taught high school science who made almost 40% more than I did DOING science at P&G.
