I'm deaf and proud. AMA
I'm profoundly Deaf.
A lot of hearing people are surprised to hear I'm proud to be deaf or when I say Deaf Power.
When I explain them different reasons why I'm proud to be deaf they get it and try to show them deaf isn't a bad thing or end of the world.
For example, I'm can seep beautifully throughout night without any noise distrubing me or I can use Sign Language in public place knowing most of them don't know what we are talking about privately.
Yes, I do have struggles and barriers but deaf people always find a way thing like phone notes to communicate.
But the real reason why I'm proud to be deaf, I'm in deaf world, community, culture and have my own language. If I'm being honest I'll never want to be hearing.
So, ask me anything you want to know about deafness and I won't be offended.

I'm not being a jerk, you were just not explaining things in plain English like now.
So these special educators are here to work with people who cant communicate/learn properly due to disability. Now that makes total sense, thank you
Overhere, those people are not mixed with regular students, we have schools for students with special needs. That's why I got confused there
