  • 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,

      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.

    Colleges are taking advantage of the fact that more and more students are wanting to attend and get a degree. So many people are willing to pay full price, that soaring prices are the least of their worries. The broadened list of programs, amenities, and higher staff salaries are allowed by this demand and ,therefore, greatly accepted by schools. Clark, K. (2016) An overview of the basic reasons behind the rising cost of college tuition. Available at: https://www.thebalance.com/rising-cost-college-education-795383 (Accessed: 12 September 2016).

    I like this article, even though it does show us why the education system is failing drastically apparently we don't know how to fix it. In my opinion I feel like we should maybe look into other education systems that other countries have that have a strong education system and start going off that. I feel like this could be a god topic to have for a research paper, I will most definitively look into that more.

    Conservative Republican lawmakers introduce bills to censor ethnic cultural classes on K-12 and College campuses.

    I heard about that. That is a violation of the freedom of speech and expression.

    I heard about this the other day and was blown away by it. It made me laugh that this Rep. thought that ethnic or cultural classes insight violence and discrimination. In my opinion, they do just the opposite. When you learn about another culture you are able to understand their background more. It creates an environment in which understanding occurs and you are better informed on the struggles of a specific ethnic group. Being informed is never a bad thing and if someone thinks it is then clearly they need to take a few ethnic cultural classes to get rid of that ignorance.
