Exactly—people aren't willing to pay for someone else's education, but everyone needs an education, so teachers who care enough that they are willing to teach for minuscule pay wind up squeezed between societal apathy and societal need.

Private school teachers are often paid less than public school teachers, and do not have a union or a pension.
