Teaching in the US

If I'm teaching English in my home country, how good/useful do you think this skill is in the USA? I mean, who teaches English (like grammar and stuff, level A1 to C1/C2) in the USA? Is it only possibile to teach for recent immigrant classes?

Do you stay awake at night thinking up irrelevant questions? The person asked about the tax treaty! By the way, I really hope you don't teach English because you sorely need a refresher course in comprehension.

Re: Teacher (J-1) tax treaty

There is no need to be so rude.
I asked a question which for me is quite important in a thread talking about teaching, so i didn't open a new discussion in a new thread.
What i did does not warrant fellow users to be rude with me, especially because i didn't sign in yesterday, i have been here for some years and i usually ask good questions.

Re: Teacher (J-1) tax treaty

Ricky_85: teaching in this context means teaching or research at an education or research institution. Most J-1 "teachers" are probably post-docs or other researchers.

With respect, the thread isn't about teaching... it's about taxes.

Perhaps you should have!

Not in recent memory you haven't.

My nine year old daughter gets lessons in grammar and sentence structure. These lessons will continue for years to come. I am fairly certain my daughter's school is not unique.

I assumed English classes are quite common in US schools?

I did too until I listened to the kids around here. Now I'm not so sure!

Same could be said about Geography, why do they get the Kilts and Bagpipes out today.

Re: Teaching in the US

There are minimum state requirements in each state which are different. Then each ISD will have its own add ons.

Here's an example: Application for Professional Teachers and Staff with Frisco ISD

That's as much a failure of history teaching as it is geography. The Scots-Irish ancestors of many Americans who are busy celebrating St Patrick's day today, must be turning in their graves. :(
