Kodi is taking sign language her third year of college to count as her language course along with the fact that she really wanted to because of her Bro. She had 4 years of French in High School was a bit tired of French and thought this would be perfect. K, her Professor that teaches sign turns out is deaf. No issue there BUT OMG get this. Kodi tells me she just LOVES the professor BUT most the kids taking the class she could slap. She tells me that when the professor is not looking at them they will mock/make fun of the professor verbally because she cannot hear them    We are talking about 19, 20 and 21 one years old  I asked Kodi why then did she think lots of the kids were taking the course and she said well most seem to think its an easy way to complete their language fulfillment. How sad is that CC~ |

That is so terrible! It is really sad to think that these kids will be the ones with the knowledge to communicate with our kids! Although it seems like the ones taking the class just for the requirement probably aren't dedicated enough to really do something with it. I would never want to use a therapist that makes fun of other people! Oh, why can't they all be like Kodi Lee? WAAHHH!!

Well, as Forrest's mama always said, stupid is as stupid does.
CC, what kind of cell phone does Kodi have? Is it one that could take a little video clip and email it to a dept. head or dean?
Just a thought, Bob

That pisses me off too!!!! Unfortunately though that is the way of the world. People are very much into trying to look "cool" regardless of age, it seems. Especially when they are in a classroom environment. They probably don't even really feel that way when they are home alone. You put people together in a class and they just want to show off. It is too easy to pick on others and get people to laugh instead of truly having some humility about themselves or possibly being kind.

Well, if she is really lucky she'll experience a teacher doing it too like Regan has seen in HS  I LOVE Bob's idea..... video tape would be GREAT!!!! I really think she should find some way to say/do something!!!! So very sad indeed!!! A. |

Kodi Lee is now 20 so I figure she will work out how to handle this. I was just being a sounding board for her and shared it hear because honestly I was shocked that college students would act this way. Kodi reminded me Mom when one enters college they don't screen if one acts like a BUTT at times. I actually saw Kodi Lee tonight, we had a girls night out for dinner and she was sharing with me all about how she loves sign and honestly she has learned so much in just the last few weeks of school. One never knows where this may lead CC ~

I will be interested to read the rest of this story. Please let us know how this class progresses through the semester, CC. I am a big fan of Kodi Lee, and I will enjoy reading about what she decides to do or say, or not do or say.
