If your goal is to support your family, nice….but you also have to enjoy what you are doing! You could learn what children are about,how they think, how they “work”,who they really are, how to help them understand, how to be patient,how to enjoy reading books which help in comprehension important especially for Torah learning. Yes, alot of the material you will be taught, you may already know and feel that it is a waste of time but inorder to get that piece of paper most of us doing Sp Ed legally, went through this system. Two programs whose goal is to teach(not only get the piece of paper) and help you through in a shorter time are Touro mentor program on 53rd St in Boro Park, across from Shomer Shabbos. The head of dept is Shoshanna Gruen and will help you to the best of her ability. The second is Sara Schneirer on 47th St in Machzikei Building, with the dept head Batsheva Shanek. However, am not sure if they have a men’s division. Remember not everything that has rite in it’s name is RIGHT! So if you go for it do it right!!! On the BA level you can get financial aid and probably pick up Yeshiva and life experience credits. Hatzlocha!
