Debating whether or not to pursue another bachelor's degree

I have a basic bachelor's from KU, but it's pointless because I discovered (8-10 years after graduating) that my true passion is teaching middle school mathematics.

I had worked as a para-educator for three years and was allowed to teach IEP students (initially supervised by their case manager due to her working one-on-one with a high-spectrum student) and co-teach a full class. If it hadn't been for that student and my boss's trust, I never would have even considered becoming a teacher. The kiddos even asked why I wasn't a teacher.

Anyway, to the point of this post. I'm already in my mid-30s and don't know if it's worth pursuing. Covid has had a huge impact on teaching methodology and I worry that will result in a change to the current US curriculum and overall way of teaching.

If I were to pursue a bachelor's degree, would an online degree be reputable? I've spent hours at a time researching schools but am always left with uncertainty.
