OR, if you're really interested in education, why not do the Teacher Preparation and Teach For America. I know one person in particular who did.
My daughter is one of the 4100 recipents of the 35178 applicants that is currently teaching for TFA. It is an positive experience for her and the her kids. She is a young college grad and she and her kids both have special needs. Thanks TFA from my daughter and myself for giving her the opportunity to be a better person and for the kids to have the attention they need to acquire an education to better themselves for their futures. They are both very fortunate to have one another. THANKS!!!!
