Who are you to determine I'm not Deaf enough? You aren't Deaf at all. You haven't lived my life and you have no idea what it means to be me. You come in here and pretend to understand deaf people, but the truth is that you think you are here to save Deaf people. We can and actually DO speak for ourselves and don't need a hearing wannabe to come in and proclaim who and what we need to be.

I am in school to become a teacher of the deaf. I haven't even been a member of this board for "months".

My parents taught me that deaf people are fully equal to hearing people. They taught me that we can do anything hearing people can, including passing an English test. I'm sorry that you believe otherwise.

Where did I say you aren't Deaf enough? Again, you are either purposely twisting my words, or you are having a great deal of difficulty reading.

No I haven't led your life. But I can say with 100% certainty that you are not who or what you are claiming to be.:cool2: And you are mistaken. I am Deaf, I am not deaf. See, DoD know that.

I don't believe anything of the kind. Again, your ignorance regarding testing and assessment is showing. Thank God you don't have a teacher's license.

Funny thing: almost all of the deaf here disagree with you.

You are hearing. You are not Deaf. You can be a hearing ally to the Deaf community, but you aren't Deaf. I'm sorry that you can't accept who you are. That is simply not how is works.

I am Deaf and I proclaim her as Deaf.

It works that way.

Are you trolling? The thread topic is NCLB not Jillio.

Keep talking. You are managing to out yourself very well.:giggle:

That is how it works for me. I am Deaf. No one here that is Deaf disagrees with me, despite the fact that I'm hearing.:cool2:

She is hearing, she's not Deaf.

Oh, and she is the one who attacked me, so I am just responding to her little claims.

Oh, now you are being attacked? Just because your mistakes were corrected? :hmm: That sounds like someone else I am familiar with. :hmm: We usually only see that defensiveness from a couple of hearing parents.

Hearing people can be Deaf.

Could not disagree more. The reason we are a community is because we have shared traditions and experiences that NO hearing person can ever have. She can not ever be Deaf because she can never have lived as a Deaf person.

Isnt the Deaf culture about acceptance into the community? are you actually promoting division?

We? You have a mouse in your pocket?

Yep. I live as a Deaf person every day. Obviously you are totally ignorant as to what Deaf is. It has nothing to do with amount of hearing.
