It all depends on where you live in the country and even what school system you are in.\n\nhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/All_K-12_Teachers/Salary

Not just algebra...but anything in this world looks hard until we understand/learn it. So dont worry. \n\nNow, to give you some help regarding algebra. I I have answered a similar question before. Somebody asked what's the best way to teach algebra. I have answered them with a helpful link (see the link below), where they have video lessons of algebra for free. A professor teaches you algebra from scratch and gives real-world examples from time to time. He makes it look so easy that you not only would find algebra easy but interesting too. Here is the link.\n\nhttp://64.78.42.182/free-ed/Math/Algebra/Algebra01_VidLect.asp

I am a math teacher. In my school only a math teacher would teach remedial math, or only an English teacher would teach a remedial English class. In Texas the standards are extremely high to be a teacher. If a teacher is not "highly qualified" they are not allowed to teach any core subject.

I'm in Algebra 1 (I go to an online high school). I would be glad to help you if I can.

YES!  DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE HOW A TEACHER ONLY GETS PAID $30,000 A YEAR. AN ATHELETE WHO CAN'T HARDLY SPELL BUT CAN MAKE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS!

When someone gets a bachelor's degree and adds a few years to it of university-based training, then goes out into corporate America to get a job, this person can easily bring in anywhere from 35,000 to 45,000 starting salary. Teachers, however, start anywhere from 22,000 to 30,000, depending on the district they are in. Some lucky ones in a critical area (such as math, ESL, and Special Education) can get more, but generally speaking, teachers are paid far less than other people with comparable degrees and credentials.

If you can't get an answer here, try asking your Algebra teacher for extra help after school tomorrow.  It's sure to add to your grade that you asked for the help.

if you are going to teach and you are worried about money, perhaps you chose the wrong profession. You'll never make a lot. I don't know about kipp, but NJ is paying out 33-38K this year.

I struggled with algebra in high school and college, but I soon discovered how valuable it is in everyday life. For example, I use algebra to determine the percentage of return on my investments, the dosage of medicine for my cat depending on her weight, and how to prepare a meal for six people if the recipe is for four people. But perhaps the most common use of algebra is in finding "unknown" numbers. For instance, I want to know if $4 is an adequate tip for a $30 meal, because I happen to have four $1 bills and one $5 bill. The unknown number is the percentage of the tip. I know servers should get between 15 and 20 percent. So, to determine if $4 is enough, I turn to a simple algebra equation:\n\n4 = x percent of 30\n4 = (x)(30)\n4/30 = x\n13.3 = x\n\nA $4 tip is only 13.3%--not quite enough. So I leave the $5 bill, which, algebra tells me, is 16.6% of $30--a better tip.\n\nBy the way, even if you have a calculator, you need to know how to set up the equation.\n\nLearning algebra offers advantages that go beyond equations and math problems. It teaches you how to process problems of all types: how to set up systems for solving problems in general.\n\nI hated algebra. But it's the one math subject that I use all the time, especially in my own business. So pay attention and learn as much as you can!

There really is no "average".  It depends on the location (suburban areas almost always pay more than urban or rural areas), the size of the school (larger schools generally pay more than smaller ones), the level (secondary schools sometimes pay more than elementary), and the tuition the school charges (higher tuition goes with higher salaries).  Just like public schools,  most private schools have some sort of salary schedule that rewards a combination of education and experience.  (The longer you've been teaching and the more education you have, the higher your salary is likely to be.)  Also, in addition to a base salary, a music teacher is likely to be paid a bonus for working outside of the school day with band or choir activities.\n\nAll that said, most private schools pay half to two-thirds of the salary of comparable public schools (those of similar size in the same area).

$43,000 as a second grade bilingual teacher, plus nominal side job as an interpreter for the police department.\n1) It's a good start.  When I need more $$ for home improvement or education expenses I get a side job for a few years. (Besides the interpreter thing, that's a constant, oh yeah, we eBay too, but that's not in the $43,000.)\n2) Spouse is full-time student, part time pizza delivery "boy"; income is a pittance because gas is so expensive and we live where hardly anyone tips the delivery boy.\n3) No\n4) Yes, because we live below our means and raise a large garden.\n5) I am where I want to be, but I also aspire to teach a college course part-time and I'd like to be a motivational speaker for teachers.\n\nHey "Pete" what state do you teach in?  I've been in the racket for 10 years. . .and I'm well below you.

ABSOLUTELY!!!  It is difficult to describe, but there is a high level of stress.  I tell people that teaching is live raising 30-150 kids.  Kids try your patience all of the time, but that is in their nature.\n\nAnother thing about teaching is that you cannot do anything about your pay scale.  In other jobs, you get paid for the amount of work you do and you get to almost work your way to the top.  That is not available to us.  Unless you leave the classroom, you will not receive adequate raises.\n\nAlso, teacher spend a considerable amount of money on their students.  You have to buy your own crayons, markers, construction paper, bulletin board decorations, and in some cases, you have to pay for your own copies. On average, I spend at least $200 a month on my students.\n\nFace it, people do not teach to make money!!!

All the time. You just don't realize it. Like when you calculate a tip. Sometimes you know how much tip you'll give but you don't know what % that is. So people will calculate. Algebra is just finding a variable, even if the variable is the answer. Like 2/$3.00, what's the tax on that @ 6%. you just did algebra.

And I assume that you know that after college you will never ever again use that worthless knowledge.  What scientist is going to be doing long hand algebra when they have a computer?  Ask your teacher who uses it on a daily basis and what percentage of the population that is.  Would you even want to as a job choice?  It's really a shame that schools require such nonsense.

Well, I NEVER heard of anyone who entered the teaching profession to make a good salary. If that is your motivation, forget it. Teachers are overworked and underpaid. They are expected to teach their subject while they handle discipline problems, and to be amateur psychologists, social workers, and substitute parents while they do endless paper work and attend one inconsequential meeting after another AFTER their school day which has been interrupted by school wide announcement over the intercom, senseless assemblies, students moving in and out of the classroom for all kinds of other "services. The endless paper work and meetings usually have Little to do with their teaching. A teacher's fondest wish is that s/he be given uninterrupted time to teach.\n\nNow if you can handle that nightmare, and love kids and your subject, then teach. There are several books I would recommend you read: HORACE'S COMPROMISE, THE SHOPPING MALL HIGH SCHOOL, AND UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE. All three will offer excellent insights into teaching.
