So we all have choices to make, and some people choose to become teachers. Now there are a lot of reasons that people make that choice, but I am sure that money is not one of them. So what happens once they get there that makes them decide they are underpaid? Maybe the problem isn't the money but how they are treated by parents and administration.

Anyone from my industry forced into a teachers job would raise hell or leave at these conditions and this pay. Maybe teachers feel stuck? It's normal for them? Idk, it's a complex situation.

On average about 35 hours a week when the school year is in session and then of course nearly no time at all in June, July, and August. They also get weeks of breaks during the school year around Christmas and in the spring. Being a teacher won't get you rich but it's a pretty sweet job for people that don't want to work much/do the corporate ladder thing, only work when their own kids are at school (big benefit!), and want generally good benefits, etc.
