You* are right to call out my use of the word unskilled. Teaching is skilled work, but it’s much more blue collar than the job requirements would have you believe.

Driving a fork lift truck is skilled work. Plumbing a house is skilled work. Felling a tree is skilled work. I have never done any of these jobs but I believe the majority of work a teacher does has a lot more in common with this kind of labour than it does with, say, maintaining a web-based Rust build infrastructure.
