I was about to type a long-ass comment, but then, luckily, I read this actual page ;).
What I would add to the above comments is that both private and public school pay rates, especially in the U.S., vary widely, with public teachers in the most challenging areas typically being paid the least because of how our school funding structure works. Turnover also varies widely from school to school.
In a private school, not only can they filter students (and student actually come largely pre-filtered), you can expel a problem parent. If a parent is causing a giant stink over something inappropriate, you can tell them that they're welcome to choose another school. Also, while few private schools have teaching unions, many have specific board-enforced arbitration, whistle-blowing, and collective staff representation policies. In general, there are fewer pressures and still a significant number of protections.
