The thing is, teaching someone to read is a relatively low-skilled job in our society. Highly valuable, but low skill. Somebody's mom can teach her kids. Probably somebody's older sister or brother can. Volunteers at the Literacy Council can. Anybody who can read well has a pretty good chance at being able to teach a kid to read, and most people in our society can read reasonably well. This means the pay level is going to be relatively low.
