It is different from one state/even school district to the other so what ever your school board/state govt does is what it is. Teachers here in Mich no longer get pensions, they're just like everybody else and get a 401k option. This was sometime within the last 10 yrs, but I can't recall the exact date. Yes my wife gets a pension but she did put in 29yrs before she got it. Tenure? again it depends on your school district and union. Places like Texas and other southern states do not have unions or tenure. Yes you can teach with a bachelors degree but many in the education field have a masters because a teacher with a masters degree gets a better pay rate, at least they do in this school district.
Teachers today must re-test in order to keep their teaching degree so their education is always continuous
Teachers in our school must put in their own time to support the schools extra activities, like going to football or basketball games or attending track and field events
Teachers are graded today, if a kid fails, it is now the fault of the teacher. Too many failure's and that teacher is out of work.
The school admin does not always support the teacher, if a parent complains the teacher is usually wrong because the administration is in fear of parents.
Teachers can not touch students in anyway. The kids know this. When a kid is misbehaving the teacher can only ask the kid to behave. The kid may or may just tell the teacher to f**k off and leave the room. The teacher can only inform the office sectary.
Parents want the school to be their baby sitters because both are too busy working but the school can not touch the students to discipline. Is it any wonder we have a teacher shortage now and kids going crazy in schools with guns? The (school) system is designed to fail due to govt intervention today and we are now starting to see the results of this failure
