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.

Given that half of all teachers leave the profession within five years, are we really seeing so very many people demanding their pensions as all that?
