And, wow! A TOD that doesn't know what a TOD is?

Oral is, by definition, no sign. TC incorporates oral and sign.

Take it easy please--no point starting a possible misinterpretation of this remark. The comment itself can or could be portrayed or viewed in several ways than what was intended.

Likewise, it's best to 'back off' and not try to amass redundant and same old drama. Ok?

Gotcha RR! Apologies all around. Just found it surprising, that's all.

Interpreters sometimes do speak for the deaf person who's signing, but that all depends on the deaf individuals if they want to use their voice to ask a teacher a question, for all that means they may. I've done it during my high school years, when I raise my hand, and a teacher calls my name, I would voice my question, and the interpreter would know that she/he would not needed to voice the question for me.

If a teacher does not understand a deaf student's question the interpreter then will voice the question again for the deaf student. That's one reason why interpreters are there for the deaf, in case we need them. ;)

Agree. Good post, Cheri.

When I was in public schools with no interpreters, it was more frustrated to understand the teacher by reading her lips the whole entire period, because sometimes the teacher intends to face the board and begins to talk, how can a deaf people reads the teacher's lips when her back is facing the deaf students face? (that was an oral method program)

I tried not having interpretors first semester in college - frustrating, tiring, too much time on communication and not learning, and bad grades. I can't imagine having this for years - probably I would flunk.

Really? with interpretors?

For me, it was the opposite..no stress cuz I could follow the class lectures much easily and knew what to base my term papers on.

I believe that Kaitin was saying without an interpreter for her college classes she would most likely would flunk. Correct me if I'm wrong, Kaitin. :)

Maybe I wrote my reply the opposite.....I mean I would flunk without interpreters because I miss things, work too hard to understand, and spend more time on communication instead of learning class information.

Did my first reply mean the opposite of these ^? If so, sorry!

EXACTLY!!!!! What Cloggy, Rick, and Jackie do not understand is that it takes a LOT of energy to "hear" and learn aurally. Most dhh kids can do it, but it takes a lot of effort, and it takes away from just "picking stuff up" type of learning.
A kid could do semi decently orally, but they could do EVEN better by learning VISUALLY (using Sign!)

Please do not attempt to tell me what you think I do not understand, I have raised a deaf child and fully aware of the effort that is involved. One thing to consider also is that if the terp fails to show up for the class, is late or is not competent, well none of that affects those oral kids who do not rely upon terps for learning.

As for doing "semi decently orally" I know oral kids who are Dean's list students, scholarship winners, attending Ivy League and other top tier colleges. If that is only doing "semi decently orally", pray tell then what is doing "real good"?


BTW ever going to name one of those toys that you claim increase SAT scores?
