That may only be western teachers. One of my family has been living in Sweden and teaching yr5 (only) for about 22 years. I'm pretty sure

  • the state pays for supplies, but I know she doesn't
  • she pretty much has the lesson plan set, with some evolution each year
  • swedish kids aren't total assholes as they have support for some of the big causes of assholish kids (unaddressed learning issues)
  • she's good to retire in three years. Already has a little boat!

She got her ticket in Canada and bounced around a bit until she landed this gig. Couldn't be happier for her.

Unfortunately not a more universal experience :( here in the UK teachers are treated like crap
