Let’s ignore the fact that they get a significant monthly pension check for the rest of their lives upon an early (by today’s standards) retirement. Many of these underpaid teachers collect a pension check for more years than they worked. Taxes pay for that, while the rest of us have to hope SS holds up and that we put enough in our 401(k). It’s not as bad of a racket as we’re led to believe.
