Every now and then I have to get onto one of my students for using the "selective listening" tactic in the classroom, but there are times I tell my students to make exceptions, one of which happened today. For my readers-"failure" is a word that should be in all of your "selective listening vocabulary banks."
You know how it works-you tune it out because you don't want to hear it or do it. Don't listen when someone mentions the dreaded seven letter word. There are many good things to being deaf, and one of my favorites is I don't have to listen to that word-I can just turn my hearing aid off!
