Rockdrummer, I think you are right. It is not just the education but the whole person and all that goes with it. Thanks again.

Tousi, You are right about that. I am trying to go to more deaf events and be in the culture. I am trying to work on not being so shy. :Oops: I also am not so confident with my signing. But I guess I just have to bite the bullet. :run: :lol: Thanks

Bebonang, I understand your feelings about all the questions. I was very hesitant to post them in the first place. Unfortunatly I had a deadline and felt that if people could see the questions they might post, knowing what they were. But now that my paper is handed in I don't ever have to do...

Shel, :ty: for your response. It must have been hard communicating with your family with out sign and having to speak. I feel parents and family learn to sign for better communication. If a child, when old enogh to decide for themselves want to speak, that's ok. No one should be forced to...

This is a problem I have never had to deal with and I applaud your bravery with the situation. I know this thread is about how to handle the situation with your daughter wanting to come home from school but there was something else that caught my attention. You mentioned her brother, sister...

What are your opinions and feelings toward the different types of schools or educational systems? What are the advantages and disadvantages of those systems? And how do you choose a school or program? This applies to all levels of education, but especially to elementary , middle and high...

I've gotten that one before too. I just called the place where I bought the car to double check to see if they had sent us any information regarding our warrenty. They hadn't. End result. A Scam!

I just wanted to thank those who sent me replies.:ty: All the information was very helpful and I was glad to make some new friends in the process! I appreciate you being able to open up and talk with a stranger who is trying to learn. Best to all you!!! :ty::ty::ty::dance2:

I so agree with this. I think that many kids would have a better home with same sex parents that some of the foster families out there who are just trying to scam mony. They want these kids. They will love these kids. I'm adopted, though I was only in a foster home for a few weeks, and I...

Does anyone like to scuab dive? I'd love to hear about your diving experiences, places you've been, must sees and all that jazz! :dance2:

I really like Keith Wann too. He's hilarious. He came to a deaf event at my school. He talked to everyone afterward. I was laughing so hard I cried the entire time!!!!:rofl:

Hey Kaitin I fell into my career unexpectedly. I graduated college with a theater degree working specifically in makeup. I do prosthetics and all that stuff. But I spent so much time the other makeup classes and helping my mentor they asked me to teach. I didn't have any experience...

Ok. I haven't gotten any takers on the interview yet. I hate doing interviews too. But I'm hoping someone will help me do well in my class. So here are the questions just in case someone changes their minds. This way you have a preview. -How did you become deaf? -How did your parents...

Kaitin This is such a hard situation. I've been a counselor with cancer patients and they have a range of issues from mental to physical. I like to try to make things a game. Even if they only last a short time. Be prepared to change the game frequently as she starts to drift. I have two...
