You’re correct — I didn’t mean living wage and misspoke. What I meant was that we have many states that pay public school teacher salaries that don’t match up with the cost of living for families, such that many teachers can’t afford to support a family on their salary alone and often can’t live in the same community as they teach. My point is still valid about the problem and why men choose not to become teachers. It’s not that men are kept from teaching, they choose not to go into the profession.

I specifically said teachers vs higher paid education positions in districts — principals are just one of those leadership positions that pay more:
