D'oh! I just didn't get the sarcasm part of it Sometimes I can be a little slow.
Anytime I need to know the dirty signs, I'm coming to you
Also, I think it depends on the subject being taught, to some extent. Like, if the person is teaching about sign language or deaf culture, then I would want them to be deaf. Is that wrong of me? I just had a deaf culture class taught by a hearing woman who, though nice, was very out of touch with the deaf culture. Everything she told us was about 20 or 30 years old. Not helpful at all!
Second part, you know when hearing are wanting to teach deaf kids, and I mean this seriously, how many deaf teachers do you see in hearing classrooms like an elementary school. Think about that. Parents would be upset for their hearing kids to have a deaf teacher. But the reverse with hearing people having the jobs as teachers of the deaf, no one cares.
