Its ok for a guy to get a sex change and teach but it wouldn't be ok for a guy to cross dress and teach? (and just to be clear this is cross dressing in the class room, not at home, not at a party, but at work)

That's because they are two entirely different things.
In the crossdressing scenario, he is acting out a fetish in the classroom. Just as I wouldn't expect to see a teacher show up in bondage gear to teach a class I do not expect to see a crossdresser.
In the transgendered scenario, the teacher was a man before the operation and is (for all intents and purposes) a female after the operation. Unless there is a law forbidding women from teaching I don't see the problem.
I can, however, understand the discomfort of the scenario described by dragonknight above. While I would hope that one day it would be fine for the man to return and as a woman and pick up where they left off, I recognize that this might not be the most practical of situations. Legally, they should be allowed to do it but I think the transgenered person should take a long hard think about the whole situation before they try to resume their old life. There are more people involved than just themselves.
I would, however, support either decision to the fullest.
