Teaching is female dominated, and all female-dominated
professions and jobs pay less than comparable male positions.
It is a fact, has always been a fact, and it stems from the
belief that women aren't expected to support themselves
financially but instead are supported by men.

Nurses are the same way, and not all nurses are highly paid, not
to mention there is tons of turnover because the working
conditions are terrible.

There isn't any question about sexism here. Whether teaching is
in public school or in private school, it is the same thing.
Teaching K-12 is low-paid because it is female-dominated.
