How could we get around this one problem on the job resume:
high school: State School for the Deaf
I'm sure this question pondered some deaf people including me for a quite some time as how could we get around this problem to prevent discrimination to occur and not being hired cuz of that word 'Deaf'. You know how high unemployment rate it does to the deaf community which I highly suspect this one must have distributed the major problem.
You know once the person who hires read the resume and notice that one attended to a deaf school therefore he/she could get around by not calling one to an interview in advance and throw it in trash and look for others instead.
So how can we get around that? I think the only way is to have those schools changing their school name like NJ deaf school did name it as Mary K.... School. (few others did as well) so it should help prevent this.
What do you think? Any ideas - how?
