Teachers better off in Wisconsin than here

This is in regards to Cosmo Andoloro’s June 29 letter suggesting that Wisconsin teachers do only the minimum that is required in their contract, even though they are pretty well paid compared to the general public.

The Wisconsin teachers were asked to pay into their pensions and a portion of their health insurance, the same as my wife paid as an Illinois teacher. The advice should have been for Illinois teachers to move to Wisconsin, because in Wisconsin there have not been layoffs of teachers, and the Wisconsin teachers will get their full pensions, unlike in Illinois.
