Yes, I completely agree with you.

I guess I was thinking more of tenured faculty, and I now work in a business dept. where I know how much they make. So I take back my initial thoughts on summer teaching, because I do agree that most teaching faculty are underpaid, especially at community colleges and in fields other than business, engineering, and medical related. And even those faculty will tell you that they're underpaid relative to what they can make in the workforce.

Adjuncts are paid very poorly, and in my opinion doing that job is totally not worth the time requirements. I know this from my own experiences as an adjunct too.

K-12 teachers have it the worst. I get really pissed off when people criticize them, when I know how much time and effort they have to put in for very little pay, and often providing their own supplies. They should be paid much much more.
