Right now, school libraries are not as quiet as they used to be, but they're still great places to be! Funny that she is thinking of becoming a school librarian because I have been thinking about becoming a teacher for the deaf and hard-of-hearing!

RN Hermi I think teaching the deaf and hard of hearing is still a lot quieter than teaching special needs.

RN, deaf people can be surprisingly loud mainly because they don't know how loud they are being! RN, we just got a new book order in and I got some Nancy Drew books for an EMR class and I accidentally got the graphic novel version. OMG, they turned little, innocent Nancy Drew into a hussy! Her boobs are about a D cup and they look like they are going to pop out of her shirt!

RN: Hermi, so true (regarding the hearing) My cousin was hard of hearing as a child as a result of tubes, infections, etc. She was always so loud. She figured if she couldn't hear you, you couldn't hear her, so she spoke up.

RN I have a friend who is hard of hearing and is supposed to wear hearing aides but only does when she is around her mother, but she talks very softly and we have to tell her to tell her to speak up because no one can hear her

Right now, speaking of things related to hearing loss, it irks me when people talk to me in this loud, over-enunciated voice like I'm a simpleton just because I'm deaf. This teacher, who really should know better, was just doing it. GAH!

RN, Defennessey, I'm never sure of my own volume, but I think my family and friends would tell me if I was too loud. I hope! Dogdoc, EMR is "educable mentally retarded." We have a group of students who fall in that category, most of which have a more severe form of autisim or have Down's Syndrome. I work with these students fairly regularly and love them to pieces. I have to get books specific to them because they cannot read at a high school level. Most of them function mentally at a level between grades 3 - 5.

RN Herm, I have been reading the Torey Hayden books. She loved her students. She was patient and accepted them as they were. You are performing an important service to these kids.

Right now, I'm not familiar with Ms. Hayden so I will have to look up her books. I can honestly say these kids have taught me more than I have taught them. Our Homecoming is next week and they are having a tailgate party and one of the moms invited me. I'm very excited!

RN Her books were popular about 20 years ago. She loves her students. Her style of writing lets you know how much the kids mean to her.

RN it is our 3rd anniversary! Since we can't afford to eat out at this time, hubby plans a delicious dinner of steak, shrimp, baked potato and salad. I guess this means I better go clean the kitchen.

RN Happy Anniversary, Sugar! Enjoy your special day Our 13th was just last month, and at about 8:30 pm, DH said to me "Why does today's date seem like it should be something?" We thought for about 30 seconds and started laughing hysterically when we realized it was our anniversary.

Rn Happy Anniversary Sugar. Tonight after work I am going to my brothers house to see the newest member of his family a 10 week old Golden Retriever named Cody. My 2 nephews are very excited to be able to show this dog off to me. Cody flew in from Kentucky earlier today.
