Yes, we do patient rounds on them every day.  [/quote]

That’s very different. Patient rounds involves asking questions and listening. Teachers are constantly talking.

Huh?  I'm a teacher, I do plenty of asking questions and listening.

I think that OP is nuts, but she's not wrong about that.  [/quote]

I think PP means talking to someone for 15-20 min in a 12 inch voice rather than 40-45 in a room-sized voice. Think about how your throat feels at the end of the first week of school. [/quote]
My child’s teacher wears an amplifier for the hearing impaired students, she never raises her voice. It’s pretty cool! They could probably do that when the schools reopen.[/quote]

[b]You realize that the amplifier doesn't make the teacher's voice more clear or loud for the rest of the class right?  The amplifier only "projects" the teacher's voice straight into a hearing aid device the kids with hearing impairments wear.  It doesn't work for the general population[/b].[/quote]

This is totally wrong.  I’m a teacher who has used an amplifier. It’s basically a microphone you wear around your neck like a lanyard. It makes your voice louder for the whole class. They’re wonderful and I think all classes should have them, but they are expensive and most classes only have a few. They will only give them to teachers who have a hearing impaired child in their class. [/quote]
+1 The amplifier projects for the entire class, not just the hearing impaired.[/quote]

Okay, then whatever it was that I had and wore for my hearing impaired student was a different device that only sent my voice directly to his hearing aid.[/quote]

There are FM systems that project to speakers that aim at the whole class, that project to a speaker that can be placed on a specific child's desk, and that stream to a single person's hearing aides.  They are all things.  [/quote]
