This would hold more weight if teachers in rural areas weren't getting paid less than half your thought experiment average.

Your little comment would have more weight it had any factual substance.
Average teachers salary in US is 75K and it's over 100K in California.

Averages can be deceiving when you have large outliers boosting it. A median would be more enlightening. Also California is one of the most expensive states in the US and the average starting pay for California teachers is 58k. And for that be the average there are people making significantly less than that which means many are making barely above the California minimum wage.
