Should they be appreciated yes, should we feel bad for them, no! I would love to be able to make 60k and still have my weekends, nights and summers to work on some other business interests.

I suggest you complete an alternative certification program to become a certified teacher and then sign a contract to teach in Baltimore City until the end of the school year. You will have breaks, holidays and summers off. You will realize why teachers have the summers off. Please let me know how you feel after that. If you want it, do it!!!
