You can't be FIRED for disagreeing with the boss. The boss MUST have legitimate GROUNDS for firing a person otherwise the person would have a nice hefty lawsuit against the school. Most of the time when something like this happens they usually reassign people to places they don't want to be to...

You know what most of you guys are missing the point here! The question should be can she do her JOB? First of all, I do applaud the fact that Jane doesn't turn the other cheek and does enforce the rules. Because we do have alot "I didn't say ALL" of deafies who likes to abuse the rules and...

Honestly THEY SHOULD! It is a WASTE of my taxpayers money! I work everyday 40-50 hours a week - and if I can do it so can every other deaf individual! And if there ever was a bill - believe me I would ADVOCATE it! Because it is a joke and an embarrassment because it is saying "Oooohh...

Seriously - you need to stay off this forums and let the adults talk. You need to stay in school and focus on graduating. This is the most ridiculous post I have read tonight. At least most of the others who are debating aren't cussing or making up some crazy scenario like you.

You know just because a child was implanted with a CI Doesnt mean that they aren't accepting the child. You know this world is 99% hearing! We have to work with HEARING people but then again the majority of the deaf community chooses to work either in a deaf related occupation or collect SSDI...

Huh??

Okay what is a hearing aid?? Hearing aid - external machine. CI - internal machine - same darn thing!

A :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Oh geez who was THIS person that you met that said this. I have NOT met ONE person who had a CI that said that. and I know QUITE a few..

So it would be like saying deaf parents have no business raising hearing children.

You're just about similiar to me... My left was 90db and my right was 95db so I had the CI done on my RIGHT ear so I can preserve my left ear for my hearing aid. and it has worked out fantastic.

I have the Freedom and it ROX!

Actually once you have the CI - hearing aids will not benefit at all. That is the whole purpose of the CI. If you dont benefit from the Hearing aid then CI is your last option if you want to hear. And honestly - in the US they are pretty STRICT on how and who they implant. When I asked...

That is quite true.. I have seen some individuals when (this was back in teh 90's) they had a CI - teh deaf community would bash them and make teh CI individual feel ashamed. So because of this they developed an attitude why should I hang around with them and I can just move on. This was the...

Well you can always post it on other sites! :) And the Category IS Cochlear Implant - so I don't see why you should have to withdraw your statement regardless if it hurt someone or not. It would be like someone saying "I'm PREGNANT! I'm PREGNANT" And saying Oh you shouldnt say that...

Can you give an example? I am deaf, I am from a deaf family, and YES I have a CI - but I am still proud of my culture and I still hang out alot with the deaf community, I STILL expect my children to sign even though they are hearing - deaf culture will ONLY DIE if we let it. Embrace those...

I'ms Sorry Cute - but Cloggy is right - You can't compare a deaf child with a deaf family to a deaf child with a hearing family. 2 different cultures - 2 different environments. And no point of feeling sorry for his daughter - he is raising that child the best way he feels is best, just...

First of all CI 20 years ago is dinosaur age.. Yes CI back then are NOT as effective as they are now.. So it is probably TRUE. Just like they say the Freedom is the FIRST real CI that gives you true sounds as they sound. Which is what I have. And secondly Cloggy has indicated he accepts...

I would have to agree with butterfly girl here. Regardless of a CI - and no matter how well it makes a person hear it still doesnt make them hearing. I still view all HA and CI users as Deaf and if you don't have to depend on technology then you are hearing. (Unless you have selective...

Actually they take a hack saw and then they saw part of your head off then they take a 10 inches drill and then drill a big massive hole in the back of your head and then they take a weed eater and whack off all ur hair at least half of it. But at least at the end you can HEAR! :) Just...

I understand what Lilly's Dad is trying to say - but keep in mind. When we have people from other countries coming to the U.S. what language do they have to speak? English. Same for those foreigners who come to American schools they HAVE to take ESL so they can speak, write English. ASL...
