Elementary School Teacher: Primary school teachers are generally considered lower-middle class. They usually hold college degrees, but often do not hold graduate degrees; they make comfortable incomes, but have low accumulated wealth; their work is largely self-directed, but is not high status.

Middle class. Working class refers to people doing manual or industrial work.

There are factors to consider in the question such as where the teacher works and the cost of living. All states don't pay teachers the same amount of money. To answer your question depending on where you work as a teacher you could be considered middle class or working class because of the difference in pay and quality of life.

People use the term working class in different ways. Some people use it to refer to anyone who works a regular job. (as opposed to retired, independently wealthy, etc) Some people use it to refer to blue collar workers which is usually considered laborer as opposed to people working a office/desk job.
I think most teachers would consider themselves working class and middle class.

"Working class" usually refers to blue-collar workers - physical laborers and the like. Most teachers are paid as middle class or lower-middle class.

Middle class. "Working class" is a socio-economic based category. It is not determined only by income lever, but includes educational level. Teachers are highly educated, but underpaid.

They are probably both. Middle class in terms of income, not that I am judging someone's income, and working class of course. To my knowledge, the upper end of income for a teacher profession would be at a university, with a doctorate or several of them. The more degrees the better I would think
