Wait a second, did the OP just suggest that Hisao's class was for hearing-impaired people?

Why has Hisao's name not come up in the counter-examples to this?

Seriously?

I was kinda curious about that myself

I noticed that, in one scene, it is mentioned that 3-2 and 3-3 are right next to each other. We know 3-2 is Lilly's class, but when she says her class, 3-2, is right down the wing, she is on the second floor. So is there some continuity error there, or am I just being stupid assuming that "right down the wing" strictly means "down the hall on the same floor"?

You will find THIS thread enlightening. I recall you registered long after this one got buried, but this might just answer your question.

tl;dr: The deaf class is probably a bunch of dicks. :D

Seriously though, I already thought that being deaf was the hardest disability to have but that thread seems to confirm it for me.

It's great to have input from people who experience the same things as the characters, but it's important not to generalize too much and assume that the thoughts of one deaf person represents everyone, and I think that was said in that thread as well. Shizune is not Stalk.
