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.
Having been a teacher, you'd be surprised. Kids are shockingly accepting and honest little beings. Their honesty is refreshing. I've got Parkinson's these days so I only substitute teach now. Kids are dramatically less awkward than adults when you tell them. They'll just straight ask why my hands shake. And then you tell them and instead of being weird about it they'll say "Damn, that sucks" with perfectly sincere empathy and then ask how you text on your phone.
And they're going to say mean shit to anyone and everyone. Don't think you're safe because you look normal. They'll find your weakness and blurt it out.
My English teacher's hands shook when I was little and an older boy said it was because she was shooting drugs into her butt behind the school at lunch.
So I never thought to ask because it had already been answered. It had been answered terribly but it was an answer.

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