How many of those inexperienced teachers stick with it? I know plenty of people who taught for a year or two and then left.
The system seems to punish new teachers and the job sucks even at 100k/year let alone what they start at. The types of skills that make a great teacher are in high demand. Many great teachers would also make a great consultants and where I work 200k/year is not that rare for senior people. Hell, at 28 I am 2 promotions from that pay grade.
PS: We need to compare teachers to other collage educated professions not just random call center / factory workers with lots of supervision.
