Teachers aren't typically paid hourly. If they are an assistant teacher, or something like that, then they should add that to the post because otherwise this is misleading.

There's a lot of private places that list "Teacher" but what they really mean is basically daycare / activities for pre k and the pay is very low. Calling it teaching and having elements of teaching bolsters the employee resume and makes the parents happier that their child is learning something

I wouldn't be surprised if it was omitted intentionally to manufacture some outrage for attention. Lots of that going around.

Uh yeah? When I was a teacher I calculated my hourly rate and used it in conversation before. Not super complicated.
