Are deaf kids bullied/harrassed more frequently than hearing kids in mainstream?

There is nothing wrong with Lau's self esteem, she gets up everyday and works, and not because she has to.

You have got to be joking!

Ah, so lump them together and give them a one size fits all "solution".... Perfect.

Aren't hearing kids being lumped together with spoken English?

And, she doesn't pretend to be in other groups just so that other people will like her. That is certainly NOT a trait of low self esteem that a trait of courage.

Back to the "bully". I can't get over thinking that the members of any target group think they have it worse than the others simply because they are most familiar with what happens to their group.

I posted the above as post #471 and got only one response. Anyone care to comment. For instance I have a feeling that those that get it about hearing think they have it the worst and then those that get it over weight think their group gets the worst bullying.

I think bullying is going to feel equally bad no matter what the reason.

That post makes absolutely no sense.

And that is why they have ESL classes.

And that is why they have ESL classes.

quite a contradiction to your previous post

I was HOH in public school....and No...I didn't get bullied or harrassed. I stood up for myself...Matter of fact, I was basically ignored when I had to go to a deaf school after becoming totally deaf....simply because I could talk and knew no ASL....but I survived it, made friends and graduated there....

It doesn't make sense t to you because you don't have the training and experience in linguistics.

 

[TXgolfer]

Not at all. That was one example.

That had nothing to do with why it didn't make sense.

sorry but that doesn't make any sense.....

 

[shel90]

That had nothing to do with why it didn't make sense.

Now, you aren't making any sense.

Moving on...

I'm not laughing. And, she's not joking.

And, there's nothing false about that courage.

I'll make it simple for you. Your suggestion stated "only" .....therefore one solution.

Nope never said that. Never said it has to be only ASL.....

I have always advocated in giving all deaf and hoh opportunities to have both ...ASL and the opportunity to develop speech skills in English.

Of course those who weren't able to develop speech skills still have opportunities to master English.

I never believed that it has to be one or the other.

You, on the other hand, have supported giving only the oral-only with no opportunities to learn ASL philosophy.
