Perhaps because they like their career choice? I agree the starting pay sucks. I say, give starting teachers no less than $35k, and you’ll start getting people in Wisconsin interested in teaching and able to afford their college loans for their degree. Pay for it by making teachers work like the rest of us till say 65 before they are eligible for their pension.

That’s decent idea, though the union would hate it. For them, such an action would threaten their ability to determine what top dollar is for their members. That would of course make the union less useful, which a secondary reason why I’d support such a measure.
