I used to be a teacher's aide for a public school working in the deaf/hoh program. Oh my gosh, most of the terps signing skills were less than adequate and I could see in the class that the more complex information became so confusing for the students. Also, the regular ed teachers assumed that the terps were responsible for disciplining the children if they werent staying on task, paying attention or whatever they werent supposed to be doing and the roles got very confusing for the children so everyone ended up more frustrated. The terps roles are to interpret not act like an aide if the job description doesnt include aide duties.
