Jiro is friends with Sheila so maybe he was surprised by all the comments directed at her. *just an assumption*

Actually JClarke told me how to do that after I got here. So I was pretty old before I learned that.
Meg has a good point that we can all work on our lacking skills. But I do think it is far to late for me to ever learn more than basic math.
Never too late, Bott! I am more than certain you could, if you wanted to badly enough.
Maybe. I guess I also lack motivation since I don't need to know more...
Meg, I was also Mainstream. I elementary through jr high was pretty rough for me, I went to a high school that did have a deaf group classes, yet my mom insisted that I was fine in regular classes. I have struggled with math the most, went from special ed math and moved to a new town and got thrown into algebra (failed, then by some luck passed in summer school). Although I loved English literature, art, I'm a very visual creative person. Science did spark some interest but at that time it didn't really click for me.
For this forum it's no big deal, and sheila was not saying that. What she was saying is if you want to make a deep impression on non deaf people, about why deaf people can match up and or overcome non deafies, you have to articulate yourself properly. I am a mathematical person, and I see english as a necessary evil convention, however I ain't getting love or respect from my family and friends, most of whomare humanities people. As are most people in society, So you have to conform to their standards, especially when you want to make a good impression on them as a representative of the deaf. If you don't care...then it's no big deal, but obviously you do, since are trying to raise social awareness on a sensitive issue. Sheila goes to one of the best colleges, and recently chaired an Alexander Graham Bell event for deaf students interested in college, so I wouldn't be so quick to jump on her, although she will always be my stupid friend, xD

Ahhh, Shushugah ... know what you did there? Just raised Jillio's UnDeaf Activities blacklist from 3 to 4.
on other hand, it may not just be the AG Bell shit, it could *also* be that they are asians, which with they are typically stuck with strict parents that 'push' them hard for success from early childhood. It is mainly to do with "their asian culture. In other words, AG Bell invovlement is just on 'academic brown nosing' ...
not gonna say anymore because that will be at a risk of sounding racist, but it is true many asians are characterised as 'hard workers' they are not lazy, and probably in comparison, they work tooo hard, i dunno - better not say anymore...
