The Good Old Days?!?!

[Nancy]

Here's an interesting article about the so-called "Good Old Days" (which actually were NOT the good old days -- after reading this, I am glad I didn't live during the 1800s!).

I'm glad I didn't live in the 1800s either! If I was, I would be dead by now... since deafness is considered a reject!

Yeah it was the "dark ages" for deaf community. Everyone was forced to use oral communication. Teachers do cruel things like hand slapping to deafies when they attempt to use sign language.

Interesting person was Alexander Graham Bell. He tried to invent the first hearing aid instead he invented the telephone!
