Home Stay应该收费多少？

得看朋友经济状况, 如果工薪阶层, 勒紧裤带送孩子出国,你应该多为同学着想.想法减少其经济负担.

服务费3-500吧，还要收房租，吃喝什么的，我觉得象楼下说的800刀一个月算是比较合理吧，不过其实我也赚不聊多少。

也是。我光考虑房租和伙食费了，应该适当加上服务费 ^_^。

When I just came US in 1990, I stayed with American Host Family in CA. I had my own room and they provided me 3 meals per day and picked me up and dropped me off to the school. I paid $500 per month.

We also applied to be a Host Family before we have kids (that was 15 years ago). A Host Family's house required to be on the bus line. So the student was able to take bus go and back from school by herself/himself. We provided 3 meals per day and the student had his/her own private room. The fee was $650 per month (remember! it was back to 1993-1996), but after itemized the cost, we had to pay the tax.

Please keep this in mind, also remind your friend (you two need to have a same/correct concept of what a "Host Family"is, before you agree to do it) that student come to US to study, especially in that young age, the purpose is to train to be independent and learn English, not to come over here to be a spoiled kid or expect people treat her/him as princess/prince. And you are the "Host", it is your home that student comes over. So the student needs to be 入境隨俗，not you 苟全 the student.

还要考虑法律上的自我保护。国内来的“小留”是臭名昭著的trouble maker。万一出事伤了残了，你朋友会不会找你算账？或者伤了人，你是监护人，对方是不是要你赔得倾家荡产才算完？

谢谢你的经验，你觉得这种host family的，座位学生本人或者家庭，最关心的是什么？
我觉得不应该是收费多少，而是提供的帮助和教育吧。
你后来做了host family，你觉得最需要关心的是学生的什么情况？当然，懂事、容易沟通的会比较让host 家庭接受吧。

对，这种情况肯定要考虑，一定会和小朋友见面，了解他的性格。
不合适的坚决不做这个生意。
我有一个同学也跟我提起过到让儿子到美国来读书，我知道这小子不是啥好料，赶紧不去接这个话茬。让他找中介办理。

您知道如何让国内来的孩子上公立学校吗？没有办理过继手续，光有监护权就行吗？我有一些朋友都期待着呢，您如果有好的方法，烦请介绍给我们

我之所以说应该1000多，是有朋友在德州的圣安东尼奥给国内朋友的孩子做了HOME STAY，好像就是每月1200一个孩子。
我想，那个城市和我们的消费水平差不多，有点参考价值。
她现在家里同时带4个孩子，成了专业户了。当然，她本人也很尽心尽力，除了上下学的接送以外，中午还主动为孩子们提供自带午餐。都是高中年纪过来的孩子，多数都不喜欢学校的午餐。
孩子们也很好，有的还会帮她干活，洗碗、洗衣服等。
但是不同的孩子状态也不一样，一个在国内学习一般，家庭条件很优越的孩子，本以为到这里他会娇生惯养，用钱铺路，没想到，他到这里不久，就很快适应了，并且性格变得很开朗，还主动和我朋友夫妻交流并主动帮他们做点事情；而另一个在国内学习很优秀的孩子，在这里反倒没有显得游刃有余得心应手，表现出有压力，心事重重的样子。好在大约一年的时间以后，这个孩子的状态也好了很多，估计是个心重的孩子。
今年，朋友家里除了这两个男孩子以外，又来了两个女孩子。女孩子爱干净，更好照顾了。

老墨的孩子们不就是上公立学校吗？怎么弄的。

参考Gwinnett County的入学条件，Legal guardian 可以登记小孩入学：
