Migrating to the USA to teach math

My last post received many remarks about how there are many jobs in the US.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskTeachers/comments/1un9s6j/comment/ovmievu/?screen_view_count=2

Therefore, I am now asking for detailed guidance on how to migrate to the US and work as a teacher. ANY and ALL advice is welcome, with as much detail as you see fit.

Context: I'm Australian in Australia with no-honours bachelor's degree in computers science and math.

Thanks.

Is there real demand for math teachers?

I'm thinking of going down the teacher's route with a master of teaching, for teaching high-school math, I've already done a math/cs bachelors.

I was looking at the DoE jobs board and I only saw 4 permanent secondary math positions and they are all regional. Do more positions show up near the start of the year or something? How many vacancies are there really?

So many people graduate from education/teaching degrees every year, what industry do most of them end up working in, is it actually competitive to get a job after graduation, particularly for math/science/it teachers?

I'M IN AUSTRALIA!!!

COMP3121, is it true >50% of students fail this course?

I was thinking of taking this course next term but my friend told me that >50% of students fail this course now so I'm wondering if I should wait and take it later instead.

They said that the course runs every term but barely anyone takes it so the tutors mark harshly so people have to repeat, increasing enrollments and hence keeping more tutors employed, is this for real?

Does this have any hurdles? Is there subjective marking? What is the exam like?

Breaks for a commuter skateboard

I have a regular skateboard (I think it is called a streetboard).

Is it possible to put breaks on this? If so, what would you recommend?

If it has to be a long-board, what breaks/board/bearings do you recommend?

I'm in Australia, want something cheap for commuting. Also helmet recommendation.

Thanks for the help!

MTeach pro - secondary

How much time-commitment does studying this program full-time require? Is is possible to work full-time while doing this program, with the help of AI of course.

I heard that they don't do a good job finding teaching opportunities for you and you need to find them yourself, is that still a problem?
