HI Daquan..

Hey you cant be accountable for something you were not aware of..dont beat yourself up here..but..look at this as a subtle reminder of the things to come in regards to the children..Maybe the Lord is gently putting apples of gold in your heart to make you aware of children even more in need..see my point? You are evidently without question in an area of progression with learning as are these children..so take something good away from something un-fortunate and apply it with knowledge for future references. You understand to look beyond the childs life..you already look into the heart..now you have been prompted to look otherwise, and with good reason.

My thoughts are with the mom situation, if the child is fully capable outside of hearing issues, she will not bring his deafness to attention, reason giving because she may be trying to preserve the childs feelings in the long run..One slip of the tongue to the wrong teacher and a another child hears it..that outcome may be futile. It may begin to have a domino affect on the children and they may bring into light his deafness. Now some children will be considerate..others will make fun of him. It happens all the time.

Even a teacher could say..now children we need to be respectful of this child with this hearing problem..< and she totally means well, but there is always a bad apple in the group..you know what that means..

However the mother probably should validate his deaf issue with the teachers and stress that is should not be communicated with him or the other children..by no means and say it very clearly..so if and there are any slip ups with..somebody ( teacher ) mainly..then they will pay..
