At my University it seemed to be a requirement that to become a professor 
you need a PhD (this is for the UK definition of Professor, which means you 
are head of department or some other very senior role, my understanding is 
that this is not the same in the US).

At my first school only the headmaster had a PhD, but at the school I did my 
A-levels at (16-18 years old) a lot of the science and maths teachers had 
PhDs.

Off topic, my pure maths teacher was the coolest ever, the stereotypical 
maths geek aged about 40 complete with holey wooly jumper and beard.  He was 
fond of writing on peoples end of year reports (where there was space for 
about 10-15 lines) 3 word summaries.
