Answer 3 :
No. Many states are douches that ignore the fact that you went to college and got a degree... Really? Let me ask you something, if I go to my local Thrift store, but I have a Kroger's plus card, will they still let me shop there? Yes!
Answer 4 :
You need to be credentialed in New York. You can get your BA in English in Colorado and go to a NY school for teaching credential. NY along with many of the larger states now requires 5 years for a teaching credential. By the way, English is a pretty difficult area to right now for teaching jobs as there are so many English majors. It may have changed in 5 years however, so go for it. Good luck!
Answer 5 :
Yes, contact the Dept of Ed in NY. You might have to retake the Praxis tests.
