Abstract
Building upon a view of deafness as a sociocultural phenomenon similar to ethnicity, this article describes cultural conflict between hearing educators and deaf parents in a school for deaf children. Hearing and deaf interactants have different experiences with and definitions of deafness and language, resulting in expectations for each other's behavior that often clash.Keywords
