Teachers need to learn that students are not "deaf and dumb"  but "deaf and intelligent" instead, as being dumb has nothing to do with being deaf. 
In addition, I still, as a hoh student in a major university with a hearing dog, am aware that other students wish they could bring their dogs from home. When students can get the help they need, then, maybe then, "regular" students can have their pets with them (btw...my hearing dog is NOT a pet).

Hi Pek ... sorry, off topic, but I wanted to ask something. Where do you go to school?
