In other words, she's going to have all of these issues that obstruct her from doing the only thing she wanted to do in the first place. And then, does that make her qualified to teach children, if she can't effectively teach them?

Kids may tell jokes and whisper, but they'll still listen. If the kids aren't in school it's the parents own bigotry that is stopping them from going. Kids will always be kids.. hell I was (some will say I still am) Satan incarnate when I was in school, but I still learned a few things.
Since it's something she wanted to do in the first place, and because it's still taboo (Transgender) somewhat, she won't mind the obstacles that she'll face. In fact, she may be doing more good than just teaching a few kids. She may have just broken one of many doors down.
