You bring up some good points. I am an interpreter, RID Certified, NIC, and I am continually shocked at how deaf people who can speak clearly are treated vs deaf people who choose not to use their voices. The attitude is completely different! "You can't possibly know ASL, you don't need sign, etc." That woman in the video DID speak very clearly, without a "deaf voice," but speaking is just a one way street. She clearly could not understand their instructions. SOOO...doesn't she have a right to understand what people are telling HER? The amount of hearing you have does not affect your ability to use and benefit from ASL - I am a case in point. I am hearing, and still can sign and understand sign. (True, I have a hearing accent, but it's my second language). It's a long hard road to get people to understand.

Re: Consequences of Sleeping in Class: Poor Grades, Desk-Head, Hearing Damage?

Dave — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:16:46 GMT

A similar thing happened to my wife, Maria, who teaches 8/9 year olds. When a boy in her class was staring out of the window and not paying attention she went over to him and clapped her hands just behind his head. She says it was an extremely loud clap and it really made him jump. Next day his mother came in to the school saying that he had complained of ear pain and that she would sue the school and wanted Maria dismissed. The upshot was that the Head backed her up and the boy suffered no long term hearing damage. However, she has learned her lesson too and has realised that a very loud handclap can actually cause temporaray hearing damage in a young child with sensitive ears. Dave
