[QUOTE="gnarlydorkette, post: 300401, member: 1114"] That is a Deaf Militant for you. I will not mind going up to that teacher for you and tell her that she is turning away the hearing people away and then she is only supporting the GAP between the Deaf and Hearing world and that she is totally hypocritical since she is teaching to a hearing class! But of course we live several states apart so I cannot "slap" her for you... I dont know if you do have any deaf students in that class or... CODA or somebody that does know her (teacher's assistant??) and ask her/him how would you approach to the teacher. If there is nobody to ask, then try your best to approach the gentle way. "Mrs. A, I know you are trying to teach us Deaf culture and stuff, but I feel that sometimes you came on too strong and harsh on some students and that frightened them away and gave them a bad steretypical idea of what other Deaf people are like..." Or ask her (i will take this approach just to piss her off then let her realize that she went overboard) "Are everybody who are Deaf like you? That they will yell at us if we bring headphones, etc? Wow. Maybe I don't want to take ASL if Deaf people are so anti-Hearing... I am scared that I will hurt your feeling or other Deaf people like you. I dont want to flunk because I am just hearing, not Deaf." I do know several teachers like that. One is the most hypocritical teacher of all-- He born hearing but he grew to become HoH... then eventually Deaf in his late adulthood... and he is teaching ASL... and he hates Hearing. "You hearing people just dont understand Deaf culture so i think you arewasting your time but I will TRY my best to give you a drop of what Deaf world is like but otherwise you have to be a CODA or deaf person to understand 100%"... AND HE IS TEACHING "DEAF PRESPECTIVES!" yeesh! A former Hearing belittling other hearing peers? PUH-PLEASE. [/QUOTE]
