News flash: Massachusetts and Wisconsin came in tied at #1 for student performance, and teacher union density is about 100% for both states.

Teachers are only one factor (students themselves are the other), and neither MA nor WI are winning the cost disease war - both states have slid with the rest in the last decade since 2013.

We would need to compare private vs public schools but those could easily be more about the students than the teachers.

Wisconsin has no collective bargaining for teachers and the unions can't require dues
