Ann: I'm deaf and my goal is to teach deaf children...there are also a few others at Gallaudet University who are in the deaf ed programs...one problem, though, is that you need an M.A. degree to teach deaf, there are no undergraduate programs. My thought is, why should people be able to teach hearing kids with an undergraduate degree, but have to get a masters to teach deaf?? (Or am I wrong and you DO need a masters to teach hearing??) No big deal about this, except there is a discrepancy here... Jess -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!109!337!Jessica.Ostrow Internet: Jessica.Ostrow@f337.n109.z1.fidonet.org
