Depends on the state. Usually a Bachelor's degree and a teaching license or credential. The Bachelor's degree can be in most any subject but the License or credential will require specific course work and probably multiple tests.

Fail? Yes you can. How, by not going to class. or by getting F's in your classes. There are core classes you must have in order to graduate HS. If you do not taken them or have gotten F's in them, you will not graduate.

I honestly don't think it has been officially abolished in the USA. In the US the school policies are set by the state not the federal government. So while corporal punishment might be gone from 49 states as long as one state lets one district do it, it still exist. There was a court case on the use of corporal punishment in Florida in the mid-80s. IIRC they did not ban it even then and my teacher says they never have. So if my history of Education teacher is right they never banned corporal punishment, if he is wrong it was banned sometime after the mid-80s.

It hasn't been. I teach in Arkansas. Some school districts permit corporal punishment here, while others do not. It's a legal "patchwork quilt." There are (I think) quite a few states in the US that have banned the practice state-wide. I have never used corporal punishment, even while teaching at schools where it would have been permitted. Hitting a student, for any reason, is a terrible idea.

If Hogwarts is the wizarding school of the UK, that where are the wizard schools of the USA

If Hogwarts is the wizarding school of the UK, that where are the wizard schools of the USA?
Since America's twenty times bigger than the UK and Ireland population wise, there would probably be at least four different wizarding schools. Where would they be? Here's what I was thinking Kids from Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Hawaii and California would go to the same school, probably maybe in Big Sur, California or way out on the coast of Oregon. Kids from Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska and Oklahoma would probably go to the same school, probably in an unpopulated around like around Wyoming. Kids from Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia would go to the same school, probably way out in the mountains of Tennessee. Kids from Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, and Michigan would probably go to the same school. I'm thinking in the Louisiana swamp near New Orleans. The New England school would consist of Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, DC, and Delaware. Maybe it will be in Upstate New York.

Harry Potter isn't real, and I doubt you believe me.

uh, no thanks.. keep maryland away from d.c. and no way do we wish to be associated with new england. we are BELOW the mason dixon anyways thus we'd be associated with possibly virginia's affiliations if not any fellowship.... but maryland is upon it's own base, we already have out own fellowship and many organizations.

There is a reason why Hogwarts is a boarding school y'know
5 :
well there is a school in the US but many choose to come to hogwarts if say their parents did (like mine)then you will get 2 letter and get to choose. i chose hogwarts! or if you want to be transferred that can maybe be arranged, everyone want to go because Harry Potter went there.
