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
