The problem is lack of perceived benefit. You drop off and pick up kids for 10 years, at inconvenient times that do not really solve the problem of childcare while you work. After all that they often end up as obnoxious teenagers with no marketable skills.
Imagine if we had schools that at younger age emphasized good manners, being respectful and helpful to parents and allowing for full work days in 2 job households. And then at some point shifted towards practical skills best suited for each individual child - someone is a budding nuclear scientist, someone is better of training as an electrician. I bet parents would love those teachers and not begrudge them good pay.
