i wouldnt say he's lock them up, nah, just more likely hope or expect the DS kids to be placed in the right place, not alongside Deaf!,...why slow us down?!, that is what i get....I WOULD be embarrassed too...just imagine yourself as 16 years old, Deaf have CI (or just a HA) and quite good at maths, and likes a bit of science and art (painting)...and then you have a same age DS student who cant sign right, cant spell out words, have mental ability of an 8 yo in the high school, imagine what other kids (ie your classmates) would think of you if you're in there at the lunch hour, or for an tutoring catch up hours...you'd be blushing or irrated right?!!
of course you would be and no one should blame you, but the stupid parent of the DS, pushing to 'pretend their kid is more deaf than as a retarded DS'...
DD said it right there too.
there seem too much of PC going around, with all the 'being nice' well, we need to get real about it too
