As 2018 dawns, we can no longer advise most teachers to pursue a teaching career in Walker's Wisconsin. Since 2011, thousands of excellent teachers have fled Walker's Wisconsin or the teaching profession. School districts across Wisconsin are recruiting teachers from across the United States to fill Wisconsin's increasingly empty classrooms. If you are being recruited to teach in Walker's Wisconsin, ask yourself why THOUSANDS of Wisconsin's teachers have left the state since Governor Walker and his allies made public school teachers the most hated people in Wisconsin.
