How does the academic grading system work in the United States?
I'm wondering how schools evaluate their students. I'm familiar with the A, B, C, D, F, system, the one I don't undertsnad is 4.0 and 3.0 and such... can someone explain please.

4.0 is an A, 3.0 is a B, 2.0 is a C, and 1.0 is a D, and of course failure is a 0. They give these numbers to the letter grades to assist in more accurate averaging for GPA, grade point average. If you have 4 A's and 3 B's, your GPA is 3.57. Hope this answers your question.

Basically it goes like this A=4, B=3, C=2,D=1; YOu give a number to the grade you obtain and then you add up your grades and take the average. For example, if my report card reads History B =3 Math C =2 Science A =4 Physical Ed A =4 English B =3 Elective C =2 Total Points=18 Divide by 6 because that is how many courses I took (18/6) and that gives me a 3.0

What does a Canadian have to do to work in the United States
What does a Canadian have to do to work in the United States?
I am a 16 year old girl living in Alberta, Canada and am looking to moving to Chicago when I am older... But the problem is.. I don't know if they will give me a visa because I live in Canada. I am looking at becoming a teacher or something in the education field. I probably will not be attending post secondary there.

Apply for I-94 student visa, and it should be valid throughout your higher education if you would like to attend college in the US. After that period of time which is usually 4 to 6 years, you can apply for permanent residency which begins with obtaining work authorization, and after about another 2 to 4 years you will be a permenant US Resident (not a citizen) and able to work and pay US taxes, still unable to vote though, one drawback would be that you may still be required to pay taxes in your own country as well, I'm not really sure what Canada's policy is on their citizens living abroad.
2 :
Get a college degree in Social Work or Counseling. Canadian Citizens can easily get a work visa in the US under the NAFTA regulations (TN Visa) as long as they work in certain fields including Social Work and Job Counseling. Once you get your degree, you should be able to find an employer in either of those two areas fairly easily and then the employer can sponsor you for your TN Visa which is very cheap and easy to obtain compared to other visas. For listing of the jobs and the degrees necessary for the TN visa, go here: http://www.nafta-sec-alena.org/DefaultSite/index_e.aspx?DetailID=167#Ap1603.D.1

An I-94 is a departure record card, not a student visa. The only easy way to work in the USA is if you have one of the degrees that qualifies for a TN visa. (Look "TN visa" up on the internet). If you do not have a degree in one of those fields it is very difficult, next to impossible.

Well you go into any store(grocery,shoe,clothing store etc) and ask for an application. Fill it out and turn it back in. Some companies have on-line applications that you can fill out and submit. This is a great time to start filling out applications, because a lot of retail companies are hiring for seasonal help. The holiday season is upon us, so most companies like to have extra help. Seasonal positions are mostly temporary, but if your a good worker the company will keep you around. Good luck and don't get stressed, finding a job is difficult because so many people stereotype because of where you are from or your race. They are not supposed to but everyone swears their own personal taste will benefit the company. Good luck
