My aunt Pam was ( she died 2 years ago) 4'10" tall and taught in north east Philadelphia. She was also white and Jewish. She, with one other teacher and an aid managed a classroom of 70+ 3rs graders. When I'd stop by to barrow a car or drop it off she put my ass to work doing an activity or encouraging a group to pay attention. Command of a room can be learned, it has nothing to do with size, ethnicity, gender or relateability. She earned her students' respect. That's part of being a great middle and highschool teacher I think.
