Your Questions – That Totally Depends on the Individual

You asked many excellent questions Wednesday night on the papers you submitted. Many of these however, simply cannot be answered with a statement or generalization because ALL children are different and all educators are different. It is impossible to say what "all girls like in clothes" and it is impossible to say what is best for all children who are deaf or who are hard of hearing. So, I have listed several questions that the answer is simply, "It truly depends on the individual student, the individual situation, or the individual educators."

  1. What do you think is the best method for learning for these children? – It is truly an INDIVIDUAL CHILD decision.
  2. In Deaf schools do children with cochlear implants get made fun of or looked down upon by Deaf children without them? – Can't generalize – it certainly does happen at times, but also happens in hearing schools, too. Some children who are Deaf WILL make fun, but many others will not. Totally depends on the child.
  3. "Does the deaf student like when the teacher uses differentiated instruction or like to be treated exactly like the others?" – It would depend on the child who is d/Deaf and it would depend on how the teacher is differentiating and implementing it. Very difficult to answer this question in general
