I would like to see your source, please. America also has a larger population than all but two other countries in the world. That is going to mean more spent on education due to there just being more people. Any good source of information will obviously take that into account, but because this is ...

We get what we pay for and since Regan a lot of Americans think we pay to much to schools. That's another can of worms though.
We pay too much for the results we get.

I am of the same mind set. If we look at US government spending we can see the amount we spend on education is dwarfed by what we spend on pensions, health care and the military. It even looks like we spend more on welfare than education.

Depending on the job, the client, and the location, in any business it's not uncommon to ask for a "deposit".

I've seem to many people do work for free because they didn't ask for some up-front money.

Just don't expect a huge up-front amount. 10% is reasonable.
