I haven't been on too much lately and missed some of the discussions on
handicapped teachers.  But way back in high school, I had a Physics teacher
who really influenced me!  (In a positive way! :-) So my first desire was to
be a high school physics teacher!  True I haven't done much formal teaching,
but I have lead study groups in college and once had a summer job as a counselor
at a Scout camp (I taught First Aid.), and since I am much more of a "people
person" now, I think I'd like teaching!  And as regards to the high school 
women, I am not worried about how I'd act!  I'm worried about how my actions
would be percieved!  I remember back in my high school (Mt Vernon Community
High School, in Fortville IN), there was a male teacher who was good looking,
friendly, outgoing, and was well liked by the women students.  And even though
he was always a total professional, the male students were jealous and convinced
he was fooling around!  (And getting things we couldn't!)  

But I'm going to try it!  I've already started, and I'll keep you informed!

Give me a break, I'm brain damaged!
