Most white collar workers that I know are on-the-job at least 2200 hours per
year. (Ten holidays, three weeks of vacation.) Many work closer to 2400
hours per year. Teaching is a fine profession, but it isn't a full time
job.

I assume that you are campaigning to have schools in session, and teachers
employed, full time.

Well now isn't that the most short sighted view I have ever heard of? Teaching
is as full time a job as I know of and that includes most white collar workers.
Yes, most teachers get a couple of months off per year but how would you like
it if your company said you must work 10 months a year, accept the lowest pay
level of any college degree required job and not get paid for those two months?
If you knew anything at all about the teaching profession, you would go wash
your mouth out with soap.
