I'm a teacher that went through an alternative certification program after getting a PhD in my field. I'm probably more enthusiastic about the job than all my colleagues who went to college at the same time as me to be teachers. However, I have not experienced [at least where I work] anyone claiming I'm not a "real" teacher. I'm here while so many others have quit.
Some hoity toity school systems have, in the past, refused to hire people such as myself - but have since changed their tune with increasing staff shortages.
