They are just not that into you...

It's the last hour of a long school day. The teacher is reviewing past lessons--information your students know, and know signs for. Why, then, do they look at you as if you are from outer space?

You sign, "write this down on that paper. It will collected at the end of class.". Then you sign to them word-for-word what to write. They just stare. You sign it a different way. Nothing. You try again and wonder if zombies have eaten your kids' brains. You take another stab, this time asking questions about the subject material. This gets barely a nod of the head.

--are your kids ignoring you?
--is it just that it's the end of the day?
--or are you a lousy interpreter??
--regardless, what can be done?
