Is there the possibility that no bachelor's degree person can get the experience to teach English in US school ?

Yes, there are myriad opportunities. They could teach in language schools, esl schools, private schools, etc. Even volunteering may be considered as work experience toward a visa.

haha. situations seem to be different. US is a country of immigrants. some can't speak the official language. US education law may be looser than the Japan law.
a school teacher generally means the school teacher under school education law in Japan. therefore, teachers in most of eikaiwa schools are not school teachers under the law, because most of eikaiwa schools are not SCHOOLs under the law. they are 100% commercial companies.

US education law is pretty much the same as Japanese law regarding public schools. Teachers there need to be licensed and/or credentialed depending on the state.

As are similar schools in the US. Don't get confused, I was speaking specifically how non BA-holders can get work experience teaching in the US, which is primarily through commercial enterprises as they generally wouldn't be qualified to teach in public schools. Working at public schools is a completely different issue.

Btw, ESL schools are actually a perfect analogy to eikawas, so the work is extremely relevant.
