Scenario_10

=Scenario 10=

(Submission forwarded from an interpreter for K-12 but similar situations happen at UWM)

A Substitute teacher comes in with a movie (dvd) to watch while doing the worksheets the teacher has instructed the class to finish. Sub thinks he's getting a break because we all know how kids act with a sub; but the interpreter has to interpret the whole two hour movie because it's a movie that all the kids are fascinated by (of course)! As the interpreter I know I'm not doing the movie justice because there are so many characters, I've never seen it before nor had time to prep and I have to sit across the room from the tv because the kids are not allowed to leave their seats and that is where the Deaf students are placed.
