I had a class with one student with a CI who did not sign, another who signed and spoke, and another from a different country who didn't know much ASL so I had to define almost every sign I used.
There is literally no way for one teacher to reach all these students. I signed and spoke but I was ALWAYS missing at least one student and had to repeat almost everything I said in two or three different ways. A one-hour class exhausted the hell out of me.
"Total communication" is a joke unless you have four different teachers using four different modalities in the same classroom. (And that was a joke.)
