I think an athletics trainer gets paid more.

It depends on what you're talking about...
A public school teacher in the states has a salary governed by a union contract with incremental steps every year or so and with extra money at the completion of a master's degree. A top teacher's salary, after 15-25 years (depending on the contract), in the upstate NY area is about $80,000, give or take... You must always consider benefits as income also.
An athletic trainer is a member of the private sector whose salary is governed by the current market value of the service s/he provides: Iotw, the going rate in the area. You can work for yourself, so your salary will often depend on how you get/keep clients and of what socioeconomic status they are. You could also work for a group, in which case you are salaried, probably based on the success of the whole group.
You could also be an athletic trainer in a school, in which case you'd be governed by a union contract--this is probably the least lucrative.

I'm not sure what an athletic trainer makes, but in many states teachers aren't paid very well. You should check the salaries for teachers in your state. Also, you should be aware that P.E. teachers don't usually teach just P.E., they often teach other classes like math, health, driver's ed, or even science or languages.

This may be a little late of an answer but I know an high athletic director or and he make almost 100,000 a year. PE teacher make about 50,000 in my area. Think about it the athletic drectors job is so much more time consuming and involved because of all the high school sports.

It varies, but when you add the fringe benefits a teacher earns more money.
