I connect with public school teachers across America and not one of us is overpaid or under-committed to our students--college recommendations and applications alone take hours and hours of my off-the-clock time.
But we're going wayyy off topic here and could continue in another general thread if you like.
Sorry, OP!

Thankfully, my wife has perspective. She knows for the past 25 years I've worked 10-12 hours a day during the week, on and off on weekends, with little or no vacation, while serving in the Reserves and National Guard for 24 years. She works hard, and will say so, but she also realizes that having summers off, generous benefits packages, long vacations during the school year, are not the norm.
