I remember going to the 4th grade and this was my first day as a mainstreamed deaf person. I remember stepping in the classroom and seeing 20 other people staring at me.
That was a shock to me considering that the Richmond oral program rarely had more than five students in it. I had to wear the phonic ear in 4th grade and only then it hit me that i was the only deaf person in that school. I didn't mind the phonic ear but I certainly minded it in the 6th grade. I didn't have to wear it in the fifth grade.
