Not sure what “underpaid teacher” has to do with the free market. This is a position paid by tax money. And at least in Texas, that money is hoarded by the state instead of being added to the teacher’s salary because the state government is trying to kill off public education.
If it was “free market” you’d be paying out of pocket for private schooling.
Not sure why you’re downvoted - its completely correct.
The “issue” with teaching and healthcare (in socialist systems anyway) is that no matter how good you are at it your organization doesn’t get to charge more. The system literally throws supply/demand out the window as 1, everyone needs it by law and 2, its free. Its done as a “cost to service” and that demand will always exist, and a budget will be applied to service it.
Before some smart ass comes in, there is technically supply and demand, but 1, supply is a wall and 2, demand is a straight line at p=0. Multiple economic theories can be applied, but its not the invisible hand theory.

Who’s talking about the free market here?
