Not necessarily. Private school teachers (and remember that private schools themselves run the gamut... some private school teachers will be paid equivalent or more than public school, depending on sector and prestige of the school, some less) have a number of factors at play other than $$$.
In a private school, you quite frequently have a different discipline policy. You have the ability to expel students who don't conform to the behaviour policies. You frequently have smaller class sizes, better discipline procedures, more involved parents (which can be a blessing and a curse), families who value education and are paying for it, meaning they expect their children to be doing well and there's a family value on education. These families have the money to send their child to private school, and while some families will be working two jobs to make tuition costs, it means they're in easy enough circumstances to make those tuition payments that leads to better world-experiences for the child and a greater background knowledge. This leads to less disparity in the classroom, and for those schools that do accept students with learning disabilities, there's usually adequate support for the student, since the paying parents wouldn't accept any other situation. In some cases, this means that the student with the learning disability is paying higher tuition costs in order to attend. You don't have to count your photo copies, and worry about supplies.
This means that student learning conditions, and thus teacher WORKING conditions, are often much higher... but it comes with some other downsides. No union to back you up. In a good school, this isn't an issue. If an admin takes a dislike to you, this can be an issue. Your autonomy in the classroom may be less than you'd like professionally. And I've heard plenty of horror stories from my private school teacher friends about pushy, abusive parents of the entitled sort, and nasty, soul-sapping school politics.
So... private school teacher turn over? I'd imagine it's dependent on region and type of school. I have friends who love their private school posts, and I have friends who couldn't wait to get out and get into the public sector where they could expect at least consistency of the parameters.
