Are you hearing? The problem is that we would like to have ASL students to communicate with us without asking us to teach them and also when they don't want to sign and start talking to other hearing people. It make us feel left out and if the hearies don't understand us, then they need to have more training time in the ASL class. We, deafies, like to socialize without the hearing asking for us to help them with their signs. We need our break to socialize with no voice and just sign away what we want to say. We are happy being in the Deaf event, like the Deaf Clubs. So have some respect for us deafies, eh?
