Teachers simply can't make up for this by arguing they do all these extracurriculars - it cannot justify salaries that are well above most other public servants.

Go ahead, Jimbo, back that statement up. Here's the link to Ontario's sunshine list. There aren't a lot of teachers on there, and when they are, they are near the 100k cutoff. The top end of the grid is actually something around $95,000, so I'm not sure what extra work or qualifications or benefits top them off above six-figures, but they're still well behind the folks tending your sick, or generating your electricity.

You're trying to tell me that someone with a 3 or 4yr degree, or even an MA, who then does a teaching certificate, and continues to upgrade their skills over the course of their career shouldn't approach $95k?

Give it up, Jimbo--no one begrudges doctors or lawyers for their six-figures, and they don't have 30 screaming patients or clients in the office every day at the same time, each with different needs, demands and levels of communication and comprehension.
