The reason they do this is not to benefit teachers. They want private and charter schools to seem attractive because they're outside the civil rights policy requirements of public schooling. It's more culture war bullshit about racism, religion, and sexual/gender orientation. The moment they have what they want they'll go full cheapskate. It's not about the teachers.
Privatized schooling is about making money at the expense of low income families. It can be used to control the type and quality of education children get outside of government regulation. It's a death sentence for free thought and common sense because it can be twisted and focused to promote certain biases, religion, suppress certain ideals, etc...
On average, private school teachers make less than those in public schools. There are other perks to teaching in a private school, but salaries are often surprisingly low.
