I am thinking about becoming a teacher. Will I be successful if I have a vision problem?
I have been thinking about becoming a teacher (primary or secondary, not sure which one yet) and it was said to me that I would not be successful because I have a vision problem (No vision in right eye, limited in left - I can still do most things, except drive that is).
They also said that since I got picked on at school, the same will happen to me as a teacher. So for those teachers out there, what do you think? where do you see problems arising? Do you know anyways in which I can overcome any obstacle that may occur?

Physical conditions (handicaps) often make simple pursuits impossible or very difficult to achieve. If you have sufficient drive and support you can achieve anything. Very few actually do though. I have read of a blind physician. I read of another physician suffering from a chronic disease that achieved success. It is possible. Your first task is to learn as much as you can about a subject that you want to teach. Math and science teachers are in demand as well as special education teachers. Get your grade point up. Consider studying 25-30 hours a week. Work up a study schedule that begins at 5am. Study two hours. Study again at 7pm till 9pm. Use Saturday for your library time.

I share your problem. But funnily enough, I have been teaching for 6 years now:-D
As far as my experience tells me, that can cause no problems as far as you know how to do your stuff. Good luck with your teaching career.
