I’m very seriously considering becoming a teacher, but I am physically disabled and I worry this could cause students to see me as a joke, or less than a “normal” teacher. I want to teach high school English, preferably Honors, as I’ve always been very passionate about the humanities. As a high school teacher, do you think my ability might be an issue?

Teaching in Real Life

You show respect and how it isn’t an issue for you, then the students will follow.  I would be open about it with your classes and go for it.  Good luck!
