An interpreter looks at life from the rarified halls of public schools. These postings started in 2003 and continue on an irregular basis. Following the life and learning curve of an ASL interpreter in the first years of a career in the public school system. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/interpretinglife/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Fri, 7 Nov 2008 15:05:00 -0600 Fri, 7 Nov 2008 15:05:00 -0600 Well, after two years of school, and still feeling TOTALLY unprepared, I have accepted a job with a school district to be an interpreter for the deaf in the K-6 grades.  Although the drive is a bummer (about 45-50 minutes but all highway driving...), I feel like MAYBE I can handle the vocabulary and lessons that they teach to VERY young kids....  I am overwhelmed with doubts, but the worse that will happen is I will get fired.... after ruining the educational lives of a bunch of deaf kids.  Yea.  No pressure. Someone remind me why I THOUGHT I wanted to do this? AND, my hubby now fears I must now become a liberal, having succombed to the working for the 'man'. ho ho ho!
