I don't really see how any of those things are peculiar compared to normal jobs. Teachers usually get paid for extracurriculars and summer school, maybe a small lump sum but still.
The PTO argument is ridiculous, teachers get off for school breaks and the whole summer, way more than average workers. Yes their vacation schedule during year is a little rigid, but that is pretty obvious tradeoff. Not to mention their benefits persist over the summer anyway so they are compensated year round.
