Everyone Thought He Was Rude... Until a Teacher Noticed His Secret

Everyone Thought He Was Rude for Never Answering Everyone thought he was rude, because he never answered anyone. Kids would call his name in the hallway. He would just keep walking. Teachers wrote him up for ignoring them. They called him cold. Arrogant. Then a new teacher noticed something no one else had. He wasn't ignoring anyone. He couldn't hear them. His family couldn't afford a new hearing aid. He had been hiding it for two years. So Ms Hart started learning sign language at night. Then she taught the whole class. For the first time, Leo's classmates said good morning. With their hands. At graduation, Leo gave his speech in sign language. And the whole hall signed back. And to think, everyone thought he was rude, because he never answered anyone.
