However, it was a minor problem in my high school. There would be at least 1 or 2 students (usually troublemakers) who would complain about the subtitles or captioning.

My response to those whiners? Too bad. I don't see what's so distracting about subtitles or captioning? In fact, it actually improves reading speed and some hearing people can actually catch more things from reading than from simply listening.
That's true... remember - you have eyes to listen two
