Teachers are not underpaid. Teachers in the state in question make an average of $54,147. The US median income is 35K, so teachers earn far above it. Work as a couple and you're in the 100K household income zone. That's a position of privilege.
Not to mention that most people don't get to call work "philosophizing about Marxism and lego world". They have to actually work.
