Help!!!!

[Guest guest]

I need help! I need some information from any interpreters on the list:

's preK teacher insists on

signing at the same time as her interpreter. In theory, this sounds

wonderful...the problem is, she is not

fluent, doesn't sign all the words, and sometimes is incorrect. She actually

was teaching the children the

sign for bull**** instead of brown...Does anyone have any research or experience

that could tell me if it is

confusing to try to watch two people sign at the same time!?????? This has

turned into a mess.

In my opinion, the teacher should stop signing in a large group situation.

After all, that is why we have

an interpreter for . is the only HI kid in the room...

The teacher has turned this into a " control of her classroom " issue, saying she

shouldn't have to stop just

because of one student. I say it is an accomodation issue and she ahs to

accomodate 's needs. So

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
