You get what you pay for.
Pennsylvania attempted to put minimum standards on teachers; a big chunk of the teachers failed. When faced with the huge amount of money the state would have to shell out for teachers who could pass, Pennsylvania dumped the standards and never tried again.
Pay in education is garbage relative to all the other jobs a teacher is qualified to be doing instead.
And then we complain that education is dominated by the unqualified.
