I know...its a big problem. Teaching was, at one point, a very viable career choice for Deaf/deaf adults. Now, with so many deaf schools loosing enrollment to the mainstream, and public schools reluctant to hire deaf teachers for their self contained classrooms, much less their mainstream classrooms, job opportunites are few and far between. We are wasting so much potential out there.
