But if more people became teachers (and, believe me, a flood of new, fresh-minded teachers would be awesome), the working hours parallel those of school-age children very well. So there can be two incomes (especially after the youngest is in kindergarten), and yet there can be a parent at home after school. Perhaps having only one income when the children are very small can be managed if one goes back to work when the kids go to school; then you can save for college or whatever.
Maybe this is a proposal that will enhance education and family life. Wow.

I like your idea. I have many regrets, MANY, but two that I have are that 1. I did not have more than one child and 2. that I did not become a teacher.
as far as teachers getting to go home after school with their children, that's what I used to think until my brother became a teacher. in middle school and up, there is mandatory club advising or coaching, maybe staying for students who need extra help, maybe supervising detention, staff meetings, and a few hours of correcting papers and prep work. maybe elementary school would work out better.
