The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

Social media is innately powerful in the hands of people. People with social media accounts get access to information from people around the world. In addition, they often get first-hand accounts of events that others observe and share on their "story." Social media comes with a price. As people get more information from other people, their lives become less private. Leaked information leads to unwanted information attacks that most people decry and blame on social media. I see these platforms as a trade agreement. While you get more information and freedom online, others get more information about you. So the foremost question here is, is the loss of privacy worth the instantaneous flow of information?

I especially like this article because this is a very current issue that needs to be addressed. The question you ended with is a really good one, I do not think it's worth exposing private information just for instant gratification of scrolling through social media for a few minutes. This is a great topic to expand on.
