I so know what you mean. I eefin HATE it when people try to patronize me for being deaf, I usually want to dive at them and tear their throat out. "At least you don't have to listen to your parents arguing and the only good thing about hearing is music" <---- You don't know how much I get this. Well, maybe you do, I mean alot of the people here are deaf so I'd imagine they have at one point been told that.
A for efforrt? We're talking about overall grade here? Jeeze. I'd think "Nice effort but I believe you can do better" would impact them more and motivate them to try harder- if they already put out a good effort chances are they could of done better!
Yea, I guesss the only way to defeat it is to keep on being who we are and do what we believe in, teach our children these principles and on so forth. Still makes me pissy- because honestly I believe PC causes laziness and encourages you to whine to get your way. You don't like something and claim its offending, you'll get your way and PC will kick in. It's absurd.
