Currently working at an Amusement Park for summer job (won't name which) were talking 13 hour, 16 hour days with one day off a week on average, I'm a Ride operator, its not much of a deal for me partly because I read up on reviews before coming here. My roommate has already cracked under the...

LOL thats true, but I'm still here. Miscommunication is a common thing here. But doesn't deter me none :)

:roll: oh Jesus

Sounds to me that you an Ambrosia have your own different opinions. At this point it seems the only thing to do is to respect that. Thanks for your input though.

haha a license, absolutely not,

Thats the thing though they are great people, but looks like space may have to become a optional solution for me, in order to remain friends. Feel like their just wasting away sometimes, life isn't about getting high, I don't mind drinking an having fun, but not when it becomes the only thing a...

College, 20-21, they work, part time jobs. Were all young I know, its a bit unfortunate because they have no motivation for anything now.

I love these particular friends I have, their pretty decent people. I know in earlier years they were always pretty outgoing and up for anything. But now they are total polar opposites. They got into smoking weed, and progressively started getting into it more. Never thought of weed as something...

I understand what your saying, and I'm not doubting your knowledge of the system. I just thought you were talking about it from an objective viewpoint. There are many setbacks with being in a Special Ed. Program if your needs are misunderstood. That is what I'm trying to convey.

My apologies, there are other posters like that here and they try to constantly discredit each other, and looks like I've fallen victim to being patronizing. First of all the purpose of my OP was to just share how different public school programs are now from back in 1997-2000 for me. As far as...

now its gotten alot better before back in 1997-2000 it was not.

True in some aspects. But i know what my own experiences were. what you are seeming to miss here is that there are flaws that can really set d/hh students back. i was focused on classroom placement for that reason. your saying it doesnt apply when the situation actually did happen to me.

I like that little piece of reality you just brought up,

Yes the Deaf Education Program in the surrounding counties near me not only just "use" ASL, it is embraced, all aspects of big D Deaf Culture. And their taking much better care in making sure that students are properly placed in the appropriate education level with interpreters, i don't think...

I am seeing more an more public schools that have a Deaf Education program and are instilling in students a strong sense of pride in who they are. Academic Placement is improving deaf/hard of hearing people. It's an amazing thing to see considering my experiences 13-15 yrs ago. I was in a...

Hey don't second guess your intentions, there are just some people that don't realize that new people aren't familiar with or understand the "protocol" around here. Don't take it personally some are just blunt.

Don't worry about it, I am just generally disliked by a few people. lol

Your right, an error in my choice of words

You are indeed right they shouldn't. People are who they are. I don't lie about my being gay to make people happy. Some deaf people like music and some others don't care for it. I am addressing on removing the word ALL. Those whose reason is because of their deafness, I'm just glad to have...

Be cool, be calm. And ask questions even if you feel your being accused, because if you don't you'll only accuse right back. I said in my original post to watch out for the potential personal attacks, stop that, lets learn how to have an informed positive debate without allowing ourselves to...
