In the US, K-12 jobs teaching are neither prestigious enough nor well-compensated enough to attract/retain people who know how to code, which is different that teaching to code but an educator must know high level concepts to teach effectively. Anyone proficient enough to teach code is either working or consulting in the private sector. I do wish US K-12 teachers were better compensated. EDIT: readability.
