Anywhere from 30,000 to 80,000 in my school district.
2 :
This really depends on where you live and how much experience you have. Typically, teachers make about 35,000 starting. That may be higher in some area's, and lower in others. The average high most teachers make is about 50,000 a year, but that's after teaching for more than 20 years. If you have a higher degree (Masters), you usually make about 2,000 - 3,000 more.
3 :
Find the state where you want to teach, teachers get paid differently in each state, each county. If you have a particular interest in one region, find the school district's name in Google and seek for their salary scale. The average start for a teacher's salary is about 35,000 a year. Add +2,000 or 3,000 if you have a masters. Specialists have a higher salary (special education teachers). Some school districts have a bonus between 1500 and 7000 dollars if you go to work for them, although with this crisis and budget reductions, I am not sure if they are still doing that. In some states you ca get another bonus if the school passes their annual goals on standardized tests. Between 700 and 1500 more after testing season.

What are the major differences between a public and a private high school in the USA
What are the major differences between a public and a private high school in the USA?
I'll go to the USA to do the 12th grade (I'm Portuguese) and my family want to place me in a Private Day School but I'm kinda concerned! I'd like to know if the private and the public high schools are pretty much the same. We see schools in the movies (with the lockers in the corridors, the little cliques and the lunch tables and the prom) and I'd like to know if private schools have all that or if it is only fiction. Oh yeah, and I'd like to know if we gotta pay the extracurricular activities (in portugal you dont!)

Depends where you live really . Some mostly or almost all private schools have Prom . Its something you cant miss before graduation. I would say yes they would have those things you see in the movies. lol . Though it might be rather different depending on what the school is like and where you live . My school is quite small so there wont be as much lockers around hehehe
3 :
In Private school you have to pay and wear uniform, while public school doesn't require you to pay or wear uniform =))))))
4 :
It really depends on the school! Public and private can be similar, usually the environment at private schools is nicer. The advantage to private school for you will likely be that the school will be much smaller than a public school and you will get more individualized attention, the teachers may even tutor after school. (They do at my son's private high school.) This may be good for you since you are coming from another country and may need a little extra help. (But your English is excellent.) It depends on the school if you have to pay for extracurricular activities. My niece attended public high school and she had to pay for her cheerleading expenses, over $1000 for uniform, competition fees, transportation, etc, each year. It may be difficult to be admitted to a good private high school for 12th grade, unless you are currently in a similar school. But it's worth a try. Good luck!

I believe the schools in the USA work different than here in South Africa or any other place. Please give details and explain how it works because it looks so nice in the movies. : )

I'm not in school anymore but I do have four children in school. In middle school kids have 45 minute classess. There are different teachers for each subject. In some school kids travel from classroom to classroom for class and in other schools the teachers travel from classroom to classroom. The subjects are History, Math, Science, Language Arts, Gym and some elective courses like music. There are always clubs one can voluntarily join like the reading, chess, environmental, arts & crafts, news, and honor roll club just to name a few. School usually grade A(90-100), B(80's),C(70's- barely passing),D(69 or less failing), or F(Cero-failed). Private school use uniforms. Public school generally do not use uniforms but some schools voluntarily do. Usually kids wear what they please within school policy, like no shorts or shorts only in the summer, no open toe shoes or sandals ok, it depends on each school. If the child is wearing something too skimpy most likely parents will be called. Clicks usually form by categories. Usually kids separate themselfves into clicks by categories like the POPULAR CROWD who wear the brand name clothing and boys are usually atheletic and girls are usually very sociable, also the "GEEKS" who are in honor classes and dress more conservative, and the REBELLIOUS who are rude to authority, fail their classes, and don't do their homework. Kids also separate depending on the type of music they like. The music determines how they dress. Rap music equals large clothing. Hard rock equals a Gothic look. These are all G E N E R A L I Z A T I O N S ! !

Should all Public schools in USA be equally funded since they all must follow "All Poor Children left Behind"
Should all Public schools in USA be equally funded since they all must follow "All Poor Children left Behind"?
Some schools in Mississippi get $2,000 per year per child and some in NY Westchester county get $20,000 per child per year. All must follow same Bush law, why not same funding?

It is different because of the cost of living and overhead costs.
2 :
i was asking myself the same question, the other day! if they are funded equally, then they have an equal opportunity at sucess...am I right!?!?!
3 :
No everyone should have equal freedom to go to any public school they want or be given vouchers to pay for part of the cost to the private school of their choice. Problem solved. Write your congressperson and make it happen
4 :
Because if you are poor, you always get less in America - from birth to grave. Bush does not care about Mississippi. Hell For that matter, he does not care about NY either, all he care about is Bush!!!!
5 :
School funding is based on tax revenue in the county that people reside. My taxes fund the schools where I live. So, the higher the property values, the more tax revenue generated for the school in that area. With that comes more money per child in the school district. Texas tried the "Robin Hood" program where they took some of the revenue from richer districts to give to poorer districts. But, it caused such a commotion, they stopped. People work hard to make what they make. If they are successful, there tax money should stay in their district.
6 :
Thats why the states should be dealing with these issues.
