You ever been yelled at in sing language? Had to yell back? It can be harrowing experience. All muted mouthing and exaggerated gestures. Used to happen to me all the time at PS 184. Special needs kids.
One kid, Alfonse, used to poop his pants all the time. I don’t say it to be funny or mean, just saying it because it’s facts. And so I’d tell him, in sign language, “Alfonse. You gotta use the restroom.”
He’d tell me he didn’t want to miss anything.
