Out of curiosity about the bolded, how does that work in your viewpoint with doctors? Pretty sure nearly everyone goes to the doctor so their customers aren't the elites either.

They're definitely privileged enough that their somehow compensated very highly for what the available services are worth to their customers (and they only deliver the services per patient occasionally too in a year), I would at least assume so for quite a few of the specialists out there ... (not EVERY service is feasibly accessible by the masses while standardized testing at highest level is) 

Besides, if K-12 teachers out there think they're hot shit and getting paid too little for what they think their work is worth then they can always look to the private sector up until to the point they realize that they don't have it that bad as their previous bottom line ... (when we compare how teachers are paid by nation, they have it pretty good all things considered since only Germany can reliably beat the US on a large scale in terms of teachers compensation)

Hopefully, when AI can get advanced enough in the next half a decade to be able to teach high school students and that K-12 teachers will think otherwise on bringing up crap like this again in the future so that we can avoid redundant topics like this ... 

Teachers open windows of knowledge and opportunity to all of us. I know that sounds corny lol, but they do a lot more than meets the eye, especially at underfunded schools. And a LOT of the work is done at home, off the clock. 

On the subject of pay by nation, many professions pay more in the US than other nations, because of things like mandatory health insurance and other quirks. Teaching is no different.
