Question Number One,
Schools are seperated into local school districts, which there are over 14,000 in the US. They are funded by mostly state and local institutions, and get little money from the national level. Some schools are underfunded, depending on how well a district is funded by their local institutions. What a school is like varies depending on what school district you look at, because depending on how much money they have. Some schools are severely underfunded and don’t even have enough money for new textbooks, while others have enough money to buy whatever they want.
Question Number Two,
America as a nation is also known as, "the melting pot" of the world. Since the birth of our nation individuals from other countries have fled to this land in search opportunity. Because of this we have a created a nation full of diversity. One cannot classify a typical American under physical characteristics. Because of this, the students who fill our classrooms come from all parts of the world. They range in age, knowledge, language, and ethnicity. 53% of students are white, 24% are Latino, 15% African American, 6% multiracial, and 5% Asian. But all have one intended goal. America's students are a diverse population working towards an academic degree in the field of their choice.
Question Number Three,
most of our teachers are highly educated in their field, and are looking to be further educated. 9 out of 10 are white, and 8 out of 10 are female. The percentage of teachers who are African American is ever declining since the 1970’s. Teaching is a very important but highly stressful job, and 46% of new teaches leave within the first 5 years.
I hope this information is useful to you Martians. Please don't attack us.
Love,
Earth Teachers

Why do teachers who leave the occupation find teaching stressful? And why do the teachers who don't leave, stay?
Teachers have a concentration in what they teach, and some teachers find that focusing on their concentration, such as music or art, more fulfilling then teaching kids about it. For example, I graduate for music education and I start teaching in public schools. I learn, once I start teaching, that I want to focus all my time on music instead of half music, half teaching. I assume thats the primary reason some teachers leave their teaching posts.
