Volunteering at a school first is a great idea. Because teaching these days is an absolute nightmare. I tried it once, didn't even last beyond the first week. And I don't know how he is with noise stimulation, but schools are overwhelming in that regard, doesn't matter the grade you teach or anything. For me, the noise, the kids, the expectations of the principal and assistant principals, grades, etc., it was all WAY. TOO. MUCH.
And I can cook. I can go out and get groceries. I can't teach. No way.
Sometimes a reality check first to see what one can handle is what you need to do, no matter how gung-ho you are about an idea.
