I don't know about respect, but I'm not sure I agree with everyone that thinks they should be paid a lot more. They have nearly half the year off and while dealing with kids would be annoying it's not exactly a job that requires a very difficult or rare skill set.
Is that all they do? Just deal with kids?
I never said it was all they do, I was just pointing out a single aspect that would be admittedly annoying. What do they do that requires an extensive skill set that the average person couldn't do? What do they do that requires them to get paid more even though they work half the year?
Put it this way, go to any college campus and most people you stop could probably teach a class at high school level or lower with at least some proficiency. Now stop a random person and ask them to write a program, most won't even know where to start. The point is that jobs that should make a lot of money are those with a highly specialized skill set, and I just don't see what teachers do as skillful enough to warrant what people think they should make. Not to mention they generally have pretty good benefits.
