all i can say is Boston Ice it sounds like you are in a dream like program. i'm an interpreter, but interested in teaching the deaf/hh. any info on your program would be great?

really nice to hear these interpreter/student success stories. i've been interpreting since 96 and i used to really get emotionally involved, hey i'm human right. the last few years this has really back fired on me. i don't know it seems like the students just don't care any more. i'm...

the bible says when you meet god you will be judged for your works on earth accordingly. i hope our lord says to me," Job well done." jesus is the only way. peace

wow, what a noble gesture by the teacher. even though we are all human i am a little disappointed in your interpreter's preparation. life is all about getting it the the first time. this is a classic example of a terp not reviewing the material before hand. i understand everyone makes...

besides the bible i would say this is a must read. it's titled The Purpose Driven Life, by rick warren. it is a 40 day read, i'm on week one and my eye's have been opened. anyone read this yet. any comments, pick it up.

never met or dated anyone from chatting on the computer. my ex girlfriend dumped me for someone she met online. he dumped he shortly after that. things have a strange way of working out. one thing i will say is i'm over dating hearing women. no real offense, i've just had bad luck. i'm...

careful, though ASL may require less sign production than signed english i don't think it should be classified as a simple summary of anything. maybe i'm wrong, little help here.

no need to thank me javapride. again, it's great to see people that want and deserve excellence. i too see that problem with terps often.. i think they learn ASL vocabulary before they have any idea about facial grammar and sentence types. hey i'll chat on this all day. too many terps get...

right on fly free. it's wonderful to see that you give feedback and ask questions when needed. this kind of action will only help interpreters, at least the terps who are interested in achieving professionalism, improve in serving the deaf/hh community. educational intepreting does have a...

i understand. i'm hearing, but always get stared at when i'm with my deaf friends or when i interpret and i really feel for them. there is no solution because we are all human and imperfect. i often wonder how that hearing person would feel if they were at a deaf function. hey, i have been...

wow, i can see from this thread that hearing people are most hated by the deaf world. strange, i'm hearing and i've never had a deaf or HH person express such hatred. my brother is deaf and i've never heard him say he hates anyone or anything, well, except my cooking. in order to really hate...

i stand corrected. according to the code of ethics for educational interpreters....interpreters are part of the educational team and must be involved in the enforcement of school rules. therefore, according to the code(wink..wink..wink) if an interpreter sees a child breaking a school rule...

here's a funny one. i had a teacher tell an administrator that i wasn't signing every word to the deaf student when she was lecturing. this happened after i thouroughly explained what my role was and how the communication process went with this particular student. i explained to her that...

oddball, maybe i can help you here, so you don't have to go thru this again. first, i must say i feel for you, but in a way you allowed this to happen which in turn won't help you or the dear/hh population attain the appropriate service needed. as a consumer one should always know what the...

there are 2 main ethical codes for interpreters to follow. one is the RID code of ethics which is more practical for communtiy interpreting and the other which is more condusive for educational settings k/12. both can be applied to one another for many situations though. bascially...

any interprter who rats on a student for cheating is a goof ball. they should do their job and facillitate the info and tutor if needed, at least in k/12th grade setting. to many interpreters want to play mom, dad, teacher, or even police. how ridiculous. my bro is deaf and i always tell him...

started when i was 16. my first exposure to sign language was interacting with my litttle bro and his friends. from there i hit the books and learned from the deaf community when possible. i basically learned ASL first, then SEE sign so i could provide a more complete service in my...

i have a deaf brother, but i am hearing myself. i've been signing about 16 years now and have made many deaf friends over the years. i really detest the word disabled when refering to deaf or hard of hearing people. it's simply a communication barrier because of the different languages. i...
