Realize you are generalizing about Rebbis. Maybe this is true for the school you send to, it's definitely not true across the communities

But the premise is true.
It is not a full time job so one cannot expect a full time salary.
Plus there are non salary benefits that most teachers/rebbeim get. Of course they vary but across the board they get non salary benefits.
Hey, getting off YT without a dock in pay is amazing!! I know many that have to work chol hamoed because they don't get enough PTO for YT itself! Let alone erev YT and isru chag. And winter break. And all the other random days off.

Lol it's not just random days off, it's a full MONTH or TWO off. Every. Single. Year. Do you know a single other job with that perk?

If you read this thread you'd know this.
Rebbis work 42 hours/week in my area. That is not part time. Not every school signs up to chasdei lev for their Rebbis. There is a lot of generalizing here.

Do you know a single job that hires people for two months a year and then lets them go for a year until those two months come again?

Yes, there is generalizing to the large Jewish communities where there is the most concentration of rebbeim. That's who most of these discussions apply to.
There's always going to be a smaller community that has a different setup. You can't cover ever possible scenario in a discussion. Hence, generalizing

I am in a large Jewish community. That's what I'm saying. It depends on the school. They are not all the same.

Wealthy people need to step up more. I'm not talking about comfortable people who can easily pay full tuition, send kids to camp, make a decent Simcha. I mean the people make $300,000 bar mitvas in hotels.... If you are a g-d fearing jew and believe klal yisroel is responsible for each other.... Administrators and rebbeim need to be paid decently in order for us to have people in those positions. (I am not a rebbes wife). I Need to beg the schools for tuition discounts so we can afford to pay for food, clothing and shelter for our family. Hashem gave wealthy people money to support torah and poor people. Its sick how much money is thrown around while the average family can't pay the bills!
