Why do teacher assistants get paid so so little?

I’ve been job searching and I’ve noticed a LOT of TA jobs pay minimum wage or a dollar above minimum. And their requirements are crazy!!! Must have a valid driver’s license, must be cpr certified, must have a teaching assistant certificate, must have an associates in early childhood education, must have taken and passed the parapro test, must have at least 1-2 years professional work experience in a teaching environment, and the icing on top… must be 18-21 years old or older Pay: $13.50 Is there something I’m missing lol. I mean McDonald’s minimum wage is 14 an hour with no requirements besides have good interpersonal skills. and some HIRE 15 year olds!!
