If you thinking about being an interpreter for Deaf children in the elementary schools, don't even think about it if you don't want to interpret for Deaf teachers of hearing children. Unfortunately, school districts overlook the fact that there are Deaf out there that are qualified,when there is a shortage of teachers to meet the their needs. I always hear student interpreters of their desires to work with Deaf children but none of them ever thought about Deaf teachers in the public school system, we got to overcome the myth that Deaf teachers are limited to Deaf schools or mainstreamed programs.
