So, the teacher is making substantially more per the same number of hours worked. A teacher making $35,000 a year earns $34 an hour.

Based on the amount of time and money that it takes to become a teacher vs the requirements to become a McDonalds entry level emp - that salary disparity seems quite justified!...not to mention the fact that the McDonald's emp gets to make lots more mistakes at filling orders than a teacher gets to make providing a teaching experience before being reprimanded. And as was mentioned before - a teacher will take their job home with them, whereas, a McDonald's emp will not.
