Though I don't teach English in high school, I have some friends who do and the main difference between the average day for a junior high school ALT ("http://www.altwiki.net/daily/a-day-in-the-life-o f-an-alt-in-the-country") and a high school ALT is that the high school ALT's, sometimes called NESs (native English speakers) or NETs (native English teachers), is that the high school ALT is given the class to teach. The main teacher is simply there to fulfill the legal obligation of the school to have a registered teacher in the classroom.
I have heard first hand stories of the teachers coming along to class and going to sleep in a chair in the back of the class. Not even offering the assistance of crowd control. Though it must be extremely fun and challenging (in a good way) to be given all that responsibility. (I guess that depends on your perspective. I know many ALT's who's experience as ALT's seems to have given them an impression that their job is to spend hours browsing the internet and resent class time.)
Anyway, on the other hand, a junior high school ALT is there in a support capacity for the Japanese English teacher. Good English teachers will collaborate with good ALT's on lesson plans. Bad English teachers will use good ALT's as tape recorders. If it's a bad ALT, then I feel sorry for the English teacher, be they good or bad.
I want to teach English online and I don't know the system so please could you help me.
I looked into teaching online some time ago and it seems like many places want you to be from somewhere - they sell you by your nationality. A quick google search should turn up some results.
Or have a look at:

Hmmm, it's possible to make money writing but be warned that you will be one of many. Have a look at this article I've written a while ago.
