On the other hand it gives them the opportunity to expose kids growing up to differently abled people and helps to guide them on understanding that and having important questions answered in their formative years.

I would imagine it's easier to not be judgmental about different people if you're exposed to them early on and have that curiosity explored in a healthy way.

This is real. If I’m a 5th grader and one of my teachers is two people, just about any other kind of human condition would become less polarizing/abnormal to me. “Why’s ____ weird? One of my teachers literally had two heads.”

My memories of 5th grade are fairly distant, but from what I can recall, I'd guess those kids are probably dying to get into her class.

I must correct your pronoun use to "they", but in a different sense than usually done. :)
