[nobe-l] Spanish Teacher

[Spangler, Robert]

Hello,

I am a Spanish major about to finish up in the spring.  I am considering going on to get my masters to teach Spanish but I have some concerns.  I have been told that it is unrealistic to think that I would ever be hired in a public school system as a blind person, mostly due to difficulty with disciplinary issues.  Are there any blind public school teachers on this list?  Could anyone provide me with some feedback on this concern?  I have been told, however, that blind people have been more successful teaching in private schools or the university level.

Thanks,
Robby
