      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

    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.

    I do agree Discrimination happens every where. Discrimination can be about many different hings such as race, gender or disabilities one might have.

    This article talks about how discrimination can be found anywhere. I think that this article is very important. People being discriminated against sometimes feel like they are powerless to speak up and recognizing it as a issue will bring more confidence to those who struggle.

    Gender equality still remains a big factor in women lives when it comes to career choices. In the article it compares the level of consideration between males and females when they pick their careers. This issue isn't going unnoticed by the press however and top influence's are doing their best to improve women's comfort ability and confidence when it comes to career choices.

    I believe that in general, regardless of gender, a person should pursue and be whatever they want to. Gender roles have substantially changed over the years and continue to do so. Chasing careers and hiring for jobs should focus on the person as an individual, not by their gender.

    I hate to admit, being a woman in society is definitely challenging in numerous ways. It's horrible that a person's gender determines if they qualify for the job or not. Although, throughout the years I believe people have improved and for the most part, people have stopped becoming so simple minded. Women are finally given the credit that they deserve.

    I think its important that we consider that its Gender Equality and not Female Equality. Both sides of the fence face the same descrimination. I am personally in a position where I am more than qualified to move up, but am noticing that only women are being promoted. There are struggles on both sides.
