I don’t understand what the objections are to paying them more.

Because they can get away with paying people less in professions with idealistic world views about their job. That is the reason people in care professions are not paid as much as they should be too.

That's part of it, but can be applied to all jobs under capitalism, but specifically with education - they don't want a population that can analyse the bullshit we're fed, because once you do you can't help but fight against it.
Our education systems are bad by design because that's what serves the system and the few benefiting from it.
