Man With No Legs Hired As Physical Education Teacher
And... uhmm... How do you plan on teaching kickball?? I know this guy has been dealt a shitty hand in life but really. ![]() ![]() AOL – There are certain teachers whose influence can affect students for the rest of their lives, whose names are never forgotten. Doug Forbis hopes to become one of those — and it’s not just because he doesn’t have any legs. “When I was growing up, if you had any sort of difference in a PE class, there wasn’t a lot you could do,” Forbis told AOL News. “You could be a score keeper or watch, but it wasn’t the most productive use of your time.” “The only challenges I run into are other people’s mindsets, nothing physical or anything related to me,” he added. “People who think a person in a wheelchair shouldn’t be at the mall or shouldn’t be hanging out with their friends. It’s crazy.” But despite Forbis’ accomplishments and ambitions, don’t call him an inspiration. “I get called that a lot and it drives me crazy,” he said. “I’m doing what any 20-something college grad would do, it’s not really any different.” ![]() |
