It's becoming a pattern that you're claiming that we all have misunderstood.
incorrect. I am not responsible for your dishonesty and quibbling. This thread is about "the energy that a dhh kid expends on listening" and I asked you a question in that specific context.
you have never answered my question. you've made several feeble attempts to avoid answering my question. would you like to redeem yourself by answering my question?
ok.
You seem to be not interested in engaging a fruitful conversation in how we can make deaf kids perform better in school without having to experience hardship.
Your inaction is the reason why we deaf kids experience hardships. 30 years ago - deaf kids were spanked for using sign languages. there were several methods deemed necessary (which is considered barbaric) to "force" deaf kids into listening and speaking without sounding like a retard. by your logic - these methods are fine as long as their parents thought it's in their best interest.
