A stand of the Deaf community on placing children in mainstream settings within education is mostly negative. Deaf students obviously have a set of very different needs than hearing counterparts. They need sign language, period. They often feel lost and left out in a big sea of hearing students. They often don’t feel proud to be “Deaf” because they are constantly being reminded that they are different than the rest of the students. For the sake of such students’ well-being, there has to be a balance between hearing and deaf educational settings.

A discussion about transparent medical masks which are friendly for the Deaf/Hard of Hearing has been trending in the mainstream media lately. While the reasons are self-evident for the Deaf community, my hearing friends keep asking me, “Why is that a big deal?” The majority of articles do not offer such arguments, so I want to cover that gap then.
