To become a kindergarten teacher you need a four year degree (bachelors) in elementary education. Depending on the college and state requirements you may have to choose a consentration (not quite a "minor" equivilent) in math, science, english, social sciences, etc. Some states (New York included) require that you get your masters in education within five years of completing your bachelors. Some schools will hire you before then if you are at least taking classes for your masters.
These are basic qualifications but many schools, especially privately owned have their own qualifications for hiring teachers.
That depends on state but in most cases teachers K-12 must be licensed, which often requires at least a Bachelors degree.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
