Agreed. When I was in 5th grade, I brought some book that had contained a high-school English level (probably 9th grade level) for during the "free time" period class and one of the hearing TAs was sitting at the table with other TAs along with the head teacher for the Hearing Impaired program class behind me, she stood up and went to overlook what I was reading. She interrupted me and asked me if I understand what I'm reading and what those big words meant. She made me feel uncomfortable but responded yes I can try to learn and can pick up a new word that I hadn't seen before and there was nothing wrong to check the dictionary if I don't know some big words from the book. She demanded me to read it aloud in signing to her and then she asked me what does that and this word mean, I was like sigh - I told her don't worry I can find out by checking it in the dictionary. All of a sudden, she grabbed my book and told me that I cannot read these stuff and ordered another TA to assist me to the library and showed me the section that I should pick to read. So did I, but the book from the section at the library the English level of that book was 3rd grade level. It angered me. I would never forget how much upsetting I was at the way they treated me. Sometimes I couldn't trust hearing educators from the Deaf/HH program class in the mainstreamed school. Sadly, it made me finally gotten out of Deaf/HH program when I was in sophomore year at HS after some years struggling with the corrupted education from Deaf/HH program and the problems with head teacher and TAs or you might call them "interpreters".
Sorry for sort of off-topic.
