Why is a man that thinks he is a woman any different?
If you are like me and think he must have had some sort of mental illness to want to be a woman then why on earth was he allowed to teach children?

I don't understand why you think wanting to change gender has anything to do with being allowed to teach children.
I also find your use of the pronoun "he" to refer to this person after they had obviously become a "she" mildly insulting to her memory.
As Margaret says, there are people whose brains are wired as the opposite gender, also some who have conditions not apparent at birth that cause them to be brought up as the wrong sex.
My friend's daughter decided as a teenager to seek gender reassignment and went through the whole process while doing A levels and starting at university. I can't say, as I didn't ask, what his reasons for this were, but he now appears to be a healthy, well-balanced young man, currently studying in Japan. I would say it takes a lot of courage to do that.
