The fact that these are hypothetical chalkboard erasers went over your head makes me feel old. And I'm not even 30.

These groups were easily the worst part of my last trip to Disney.

I'm going to Magic Kingdom tomorrow, what should be my top priority?

So you weren't allowed to go anywhere. You just didn't ask to go anywhere they would say no.

Teacher certification varies by state, just google [your state] teacher certification and you should be able to find what you need. Believe it or not, many schools will be less likely to hire you if you have a graduate degree (especially if you have no experience) because they have to pay you more and you will probably be just as bad and need just as much support as a 22 year old straight out of college. You're also more likely to leave in the first 5 years since that degree gives you more options.

If you really want to teach, you'll find a way, as there is a teacher shortage especially in STEM. But, red tape everywhere.
