text: what are the benefits for being a teacher? what type of insurance do they have? does the district of where they are working at covers the health, dental, and vision? i think i work for one of the best school districts in the us! beyond health insurance, i keep my salary...they pay for my living expenses....no joke!!!!!  yes, i have health insurance- they give you choices.... pretty much most districts will give you a packet with info to help you decide what insurance to take.
