Sam, Thanks for the email. I'm thinking about going back to college
and getting a special ed. endorsement. Do you think schools in the
Cinn. area would hire me as a special ed. teacher even if I haven't
completed all of my special ed. classes? Also, is it difficult to
get in as a special ed. teacher?
Thanks,
Alisa
