    Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

  • A residential school for students who are deaf has a comprehensive academic, health, and socialization program including dormitory living equipped for students who are deaf.
  • many view residential life as the ideal opportunity for students who are deaf to become familiar with and enculturated into the Deaf community.

  • This heritage is passed on from one generation to the next via the residential school,
  • Most schools for the deaf use some form of sign language (Padden & Humphries, 1988).
  • 78 residential schools for the deaf or deaf and blind in the United States
  • Parent/Infant program administered by the school provides much needed services until the child is ready to attend
  • child has access to role models who are Deaf.
  • Hearing parents of children who are deaf seem to have greater reluctance about sending their children because they do not want to be separated from them (Scheetz, 1993).
  • Parents who are Deaf themselves often choose a school for the Deaf over local schools because of the opportunity for their child(ren) to participate in the life of the Deaf community and culture
  • Students who are deaf and who attended mainstream schools must continue to prove their allegiance to the Deaf culture if they have chosen participation in adulthood (Reese, 1996).
  • Deaf students who are mainstreamed miss out on the feeling of belonging that individuals from the Deaf culture associate with their residential schools,
  • Mainstreamed students often are singled out in many respects.
  • The students are exposed to deaf adults with various types of careers

      the author is biased in their writing and offers a biased perspective of this
  • the curriculum of the typical residential school tends to be less rigorous than that of other schools (Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996).
  • parents tend not to participate in their child's education to a sufficient degree
  • smurphy6600 on 06 Sep 21
     
    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.

    New research conducted by Dr. Dieter Wolke shows the lasting affects of bullying on youth. Researchers found that conflict amongst peers creates stress-related issues such as anxiety and depression. A call to action is asked among communities to find better resources for mental health.

    This kind of article should be spread around to help decrease and get rid of bullies. Many just think that it's only teasing but they don't know that can stay with you forever. This article shows that we do stay with lasting affects when bullied.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!

    This article/ website definitely hits many different ways racial profiling can happen. I always believed, why judge a person based off their skin color when underneath we are all the same.

    I found it interesting that it said racial profiling is patently illegal. it also says racial profiling is ineffective. It makes me wonder how often occurrences like this are allowed just because no one wants to deal with it.

    This website give an overview of what racial profiling is and the history of it. It also explains how it has a negative outlook for law enforcement and the communities they serve. It explains who can be racially profiled and how they are targeted.

    It is amazing to see the differences that people can make when donations are made, or even driving homeless people to a shelter to help them get their feet back on the ground.

    This is a great resource for the homeless. My family and I put on a Christmas party for the needy every year and we always invite the people from the mission. The Mission feeds and supplies a place for them to sleep at night.

    It's so heartbreaking to know that people have to dig through the trash to just get some "food". I don't think anyone wants to be homeless I think that people get to a low and have a hard time picking themselves up. It's the volunteers and organizations who give a helping hand out to get these people back up.

    Wow! That was very informative. I was aware of the issue and even was informed about different resources to contact in order to minimize the contact one has with law enforcement, but I did not know about the alternatives to imprisonment.

    This article is very informative. The prison system is in much need of some kind of reform. The article give a lot of logical suggestions of how the government could start reforming the system.

    There is a long list of issues our nation has with prison. It's unsanitary, the food doesn't support a healthy diet. The lack of safety is a huge concern. This website explains many issues with American prison and list possibilities to change it.
  • sonyacorona on 29 Jan 18
     
    The detrimental impact of imprisonment, not only on individuals but on families and communities also need to be taken into account. Central to the arguments to promote prison reforms is a human rights argument.
