I'm watching sex education and I can't tell if the woke popular kids not even trying to sign with their deaf friend is foreshadowing them being dicks. That or the writers are lazy and greatly overestimate how effective lipreading is.

#im not deaf #but ive been learning sign for years and yeah nah not good enough guys #sex education #tho combined with isaacs comment about the elevator and inaccessibility makes me think it isnt a coincidences #also the teacher is ableist #like how she was yelling #also question about the mic the teacher has #i know those are used for those eith cochelars #but do they work for hearing aids?#l got the impression shes profoundly deaf #idk i dont trust this school #but idk this show rarely portrays anyone as a true villain #especially student's #so maybe the friends will grow #but the show is doing that hollywood thing where they act like lipreading is super effective #it seems to me they made a popular kid deaf to show how progrssive the school is and stopped there #i guess it would be more difficult to find or teach actors bsl #but cmon #i am excited about her character tho #i wanna know if she signs #like even when she was addressing the school she didnt sign #is she the only deaf student or does she not know bsl #idk idk im curious #theres about foreshadowing im wondering if theyre gonna tackle ableism this season #also theyre focusing on isaac more which yayyy!!#sex education season 4
