why do international students who come outside usa pay more money towards their school here?
i have friends on F1 visas who comes from different countries and they told me how much it cost for them to be in school here in usa,they always attend full time classes and they are not allowed to drop courses even if they dont like the course,is it fair?how can i help them?wouldn't it be better for them to go back to their countries and pay less/save money?

A degree from a US university is often considered more prestigious, and provides opportunies both here and in the student's home country. You shouldn't dissuade your friends from going to school in the US, but consider helping them to find scholarships.

What are the salary of a biology teacher in high school (USA)? How many holidays you get
What are the salary of a biology teacher in high school (USA)? How many holidays you get?
Also what qualifications do you need. I have a Bachelours in Biochemistry (UK) and am doing a PhD in biomedical science. I realised I don;t like what I am doing and would like to be a teacher. I am not sure about the system in USA. If I decided to quit my PhD what are the chances of becoming a teacher when I already have a degree in Biochemistry. I am moving there soon (Chicago) so that's why I am asking. Would very much appreciate your help and advice.

Because of the crazy way America funds education, salaries vary from school district to school district within states and from state to state. So there's no hard and fast rule about salaries. If you want to teach, you'll need to look at the Illinois Department of Education to find out their requirements for teacher certification in your area. You have to obtain certification/licensure to be a teacher (you should be able to find it on the state website). There's a fee involved for the license, but I'm not sure what it is in Illinois. You will also have to undergo a background check and be fingerprinted--there are fees involved in this process as well. Once you obtain your license, you can begin the application process to school districts within the areas in which you will live once you move here. It can be a time consuming and frustrating process, but it is really worth it! I love being a teacher despite the many headaches involved. Good luck!

You would need to get your teacher certification. This would involve taking education classes and student teaching, and it would likely take at least a full year. Each state has its own specific requirements. Here are the ones for Illinois: http://www.isbe.state.il.us/certification/html/prospective.htm Once you finished your certification, you would likely be an attractive candidate since you have your advanced degree, but they probably wouldn't hire you until you get certified. Teachers in the US normally have time off for about 2 1/2 months in summer, a few days around Thanksgiving, about a week and a half at Christmas, often a week near Easter, and a few other days scattered throughout the year. I also recommend that you consider teaching at a community college. You would not have to get teacher certification for it, so you might be able to find a job right away.

Can I attend college in the Philippines after two years of high school in the USA
Can I attend college in the Philippines after two years of high school in the USA?
Ok right now I am a sophomore here in the USA. I am planning to go to the Philippines for college. Technically, if you are a sophomore in the USA, you're actually a senior in high school in the Philippines. Do you think I would be able to go and start as a freshman in college? Just after doing two years of high school here in the USA? I am planning to go to this international school over there?? Thanks for all the help you can give me :]

Why would you want to go to a country like the Phillipeans for college? Stay in the USA and get a REAL degree from a respectible college in the USA so people will take you seriously. Finish High School first.

If you can prove that a 2nd year high school in the U.S. is equivalent to a senior high school in the Philippines, then I don't see why not. Most prominent universities in the Philippines though would require an entrance examination you would still need to pass in order to get a degree from them. You can visit this Web site for a list of universities and colleges in the Philippines: http://www.ched.gov.ph/ Prominent universities in the Philippines include: http://www.admu.edu.ph/ http://www.dlsu.edu.ph/ http://www.ust.edu.ph/ http://www.up.edu.ph/ I'd recommend checking out their requirements too.
