Oh that seems like probably the hardest job to have with that particular condition. Imagine having to explain to a new group of 10-year-olds every year why you have a conjoined twin. And I’m sure there are kids who say not nice things about them.
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.
Yup. Good neighbor friend was deaf, another one had half an arm due to a car crash, another (while this isn't a disability) had a big, textured portwine birthmark over most of her face. Everybody's normal after the first time--and it sticks with you that those things and plenty of other things are normal and fine.

No, but they’re 5th grade teachers which is worse IMO https://people.com/where-are-abby-brittany-hensel-now-8768309
