[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2214908, member: 238814"] That would have been an amazing school for me [USER=193971]@ianpspurs[/USER] Especially that seating arrangement awareness is good. I was always put at the back of the class because I was the tallest. It was arranged so the tallest pupils were at the back and the shortest at the front. I did explain, to teacher and headmistress and my parents that I couldn't lipread the teacher from the back of the class... but I was ignored. Finally, and I am only 11 or 12 years old, I went to the education offices to explain to them about my deafness and that I couldn't lipread the teacher where I was located in the classroom, and some more bad stuff, and that I had explained to the teacher and the headmistress. All hell broke loose then. And they had to investigate. And the school was investigated. But it didn't achieve anything good for me, it was worse for me afterwards. Even my parents disapproved what I had done. Obviously I was upset at the time. I can still remember sobbing my heart out, and the feeling of that. But nothing ever cowed me into submission. [/QUOTE]
