So I gave my job as a teacher to help them understand ASL and also discuss about Deaf culture and Deaf communities. Some of them are not that interest while other students are interest. It is not a sign language class. It is more of a general class like Math, English, Study Skills, Computer Lab Studies and ASL. I only give them fifteen minutes between class times. My teacher love it and she learns a lot from me.
Good teachers are hard to find. If you are blessed with one, count yourself lucky. I am writing in general terms- deaf, hearing, whatever. Having a real teacher conduct your class is like finding buried treasure or winning the lottery jackpot.

Truly, teaching requires the talent to communicate clearly the subject being taught; sadly, few do that right.
