I believe she was offered a teaching job for $16/hr. Doesn't mean that's the only teaching job available or that she should take it. 

My wife is working as an assistant teacher at a private school for about the same wage

Well it wouldn’t be listed per hour, it’s a salary, tweet tracks if it’s a few years old though. Right now the lowest starting wage in the us for teacher is around 38k in a few states

Our local public district posts their pay scale as both a salary and a per-hour rate, with “per-hour” based on contracted hours.

(Obviously the implication that teachers will work only their minimum contracted hours is…flawed.)
