While I never set out to become a teaching assistant, the job has managed to find me more than I found it. Regardless of that, I have found so many flaws within the system of teaching deaf children in a mainstream environment.
My current job in which I've been employed in since the new year is working as a TA/CSW in the classroom to a deaf boy. The school also has a deaf unit in which they go to twice a day for on.
But the teacher for the deaf is one that looks upon the children as 'poor little things' and it does frusterate me to the core! I'm the first deaf employee in the school to work there as a TA, and also a role model since the child is having issues with acceptance of his deafness.
I no doubt think I will have many challenges to face with this type of employment and I would like to hear from other TA's on here if there are any
