Deaf Dorm LIfe FUN But Dorm Grade Level Worth or FAIR????

Oh ooops my bad for stealing LaRonda's awesome stories with some brilliant and curiously fun questions recently!
I did sometimes wondered with my questions once in a while:
1. Do the Deaf Boy Dorm Students made bed better than Deaf Girl Dorm Students?
2. Do the Deaf Dorm Students made bed better than both Deaf Day and Mainstreamed Students?

I have to respect my Deaf son because he told me that he RATHER TO STAY at dorm better than staying home while his dad and I are both BUSY FULL TIME WORKING PARENTS!!! So I understand some Deaf Dorm Students do like to stay at dorm better than staying at their home while they were so boring at their home. And also their own parents are full time working parents and do want save their gas mileages from the expensive gas prices after school events and activities like sports, organizations. True!!!! And also some dorm students do have their own family problems at home like lack of communication, divorce or etc..., etc..., and etc...

I would like thank Deaf Dixie's vlog links: http://www.deafread.com/blogger/729 (You can go find her subject called "The Houseparents discipline kids to make up bed at the dorm" and click there. Enjoy!

Of course Deaf Dorm Life is so much more fun better than staying home after school on down below video clip:



Do the Dorm Grade Level worth for the Deaf Dorm Students?? I don't think it helps the Dorm Students to improve their self esteem while the Deaf Day Students do not have the dorm grade level at thier home life!!!!

Thanks, Shawn

Experienced Mainstreamed Problems

I want to respect Gnarlydork by sharing my own experiences with struggling to get my Deaf son to get top qualified level 5 educational interpreter in mainstream for tooo long time WHILE I'm a FULL TIME WORKING MOM! But seems ADA and IDEA laws are VERY WEAK SYSTEMS for the Deaf Education!

I may be so STOOOOPID about Deaf History... I may be WRONG if that Deaf mainstreamed started in 1970's.. I am not sure because I do not have much time to take Deaf Studies while I am a full time working mom with my 2 boys..

I already know that IDEA and ADA laws are still very weak systems.. Including my Deaf and 1/2 blind husband and I are still full time working parents that we do feel so much pressures from the hearing workers on our work floor. Seems that the ADA law do not have good systems on our work floor, too!!! We do still feel oppressed from our work floor but we managed go to work and then go home. We feel that we are suffered to pay our Federal taxes and seem wasted our time with the ADA law systems that are STILL WEAK SYSTEMS!

I did had my own experience with 4 hours of battle war in my Deaf son's IEP meeting before go to work. My Deaf and 1/2 blind husband was stuck at work and couldn't go IEP meeting! I was ALONE and got suffered with my BIG HEADACHE to go work on that night!! I was WORN OUT from the 4 hours war in IEP Meeting!! Plus my Deaf and 1/2 blind husband and I grew up from lack of education from Oral Deaf school here, too! That's why we prefer to have our Deaf son to get far better Deaf education than ours while we already experienced isolated in our mainstreamed high school without educational interpreter provided before the 1990's ADA law passed!!!

Thank you, Gnarlydork for your own express from your feelings! Hope you will feel a lot better asap.. Hope you that you will understand our situation problems.. Don't give up yourself, Gnarlydork!! I better go get busy myself. Smile, Shawn

Why Some Hearing People Still Calling Me Names!

I gotta go now because I am too busy with my full time working schedule! Have a very good week! Shawn

BUSY ASL BRAINS

Excuse me!!! I did said SOME (not all) of us have ASL BRAINS! Sorry NO arguments! We do have every RIGHTS to express our concerns!

To let you know that I had some experiences with only one qualified certified ASL interpreter did got worn out from interpreting for more than 2 hours meetings and workshops. That one qualified ASL interpreter got worn out from signing ASL for 20 or 30 minutes then started to sign English because the brain got so tired from translating to express ASL for more than 20 to 30 minutes. It's important for us to find out how long the meetings or workshops will take, it will be best for us to ask for 2 qualified certified ASL interpreters are required to come to the meetings or worshops to save their alternative ASL breaths.

Thanks, Shawn

Why Not Enuff Deaf Male Actors????!!!!

I praised Gary Brook brought up his own perspective for needing more Deaf Male Actors! You can go find and click on his own video clip called "Why Some Deaf Actors Are @&!%@#!?!?!" on this vlog link: http://www.deafread.com/blogger/306

Oh yes, I wish there are more Deaf actors like CJ Jones!!! I did watched his performance at MSD's high school graduation ceromony! Gosh, he made me laugh so hard!!! CJ Jones is so awesome Deaf actor!!!

And also I would like to see older Deaf male actors to perfom in Rated "R" movies to help me and other Deaf women to understand and know what to do with our Middle Age Crisis relationship life! I do not want to see the Rated XXX porn movies because I want to see more Deaf Culture movies with Rated R to educated us what the real serious relationship life looks like. We need to know what is the real relationship life look like before we the Deaf decide to keep our marriages and other partners more healthy serious relationship stronger.

I do have a question for ChrisH !!! Bye, I gotta go start my engine now and go out of town for a whole long weekend. Will be back home on Tuseday! Hope you will enjoy your weekend!

Not Alone Feeling Oppress by Hearings & Deaf

My video message for Roehm, the Nesmuth and other Deaf who may be ALONE feeling OPPRESSED by hearings and Deaf for many years. I hope you will understand some of us Deaf did felt oppressed by hearing controllers with the lack of Deaf Education for so many years!

Here's my 2nd video important message for one of the Interpreter Agencies here in St. Louis who already got contract from my work company. Please do your honor to watch from this video link: http://asl.deafvideo.tv/watch/2584

FYI: Interpreter Agent, last week my hearing co-workers and my hearing supervisors did informed me that they were satisfied with that interpreter who has level 4 from Missouri Interpreter Certification but has Level 5 under NAD Interpreter Certication. Possible hearing Missouri Interpreter Evaluators were jealous of that interpreter who has fabulous ASL skills and voicing skills. My meeting with my manager who has disability and my Union Representative will be next week. Hope my manager will feel better herself by developing good teamwork on my work floor. I don't know if my manager knew about ADA and I will need to check with her first next week. Or up to you may possible find top qualified level 5 under Missouri Interpreter for my next week meeting. Thank you.

Oral Schools for the Deaf: A Future Sound: Boring Education

First I want to thank to Welcome to Seek Geo's Vlog for his sharing express from one of his wonderful day experiences from his vlog link called "Cochlear Implant the Only Option": http://www.deafread.com/blogger/594

My opinion that there are some problems from Clarke School for the Deaf did use their own fancy advertisement to make the hearing parents attracted. That advertisement has NO INFO with Deaf children who were born Deaf or hearing then later become Deaf.. That oral deaf school may be using some Deaf children who were born hearing and then later become Deaf which that may possible take advantage to make the parents more attraction????

Thanks for allowing me to express my opinions since we have the right to have our own freedom of express (speech) here in America! Have a very nice day!

Bicultural and Bilingual Educational Interpreters Problems????

See both the hearing leaders from Bush's Administration (White House)& US Senates (US Capitol Hill both Democrats and Republicans) were NOT GOOD at focusing and respecting us all Americans. We people workers do pay our Federal Taxes and State Taxes from our biweekly pay checks or once a week:

1. Factories: Drinks, food, Ketchup (Kerry's wife owns Hunts Ketchup), chocalate, candies, and many other things like electric appliances, cell phones, CDs and DVDs;
2. Farms
3. etc...,etc..., etc....

To my own opionion and concern about Bush's Administrator, Spellings from US Department of Education did seriously focus on "Private Charter Schools" too much while NOT ALL American military cannot afford by enrolling in private charter. Not all American military do NOT have Bilingual and Bicultural Education from their own public schools. I sometimes wondering if US Dept. of Education Secretary, does Spellings spend time focusing on "Bicultural and Bilingual Education" issues in public schools??? It bothers me sometimes when I did opened from this link: http://www.ed.gov/index.jhtml I do not see any "Bicultural and Bilingual education issues" at public schools...

So far I know that the British troops withdraw from Iraq base will be expected in few days!!! Look at 10 years ago, Princess Diana was pregnant from Dodi and wondering why was one of the 5 Conspiracy Theory possible murdered because of her planning to get married Dodi. The British Royal disliked that idea of her marriage plans to Dodi??? Which that it is NOT diversity!!!

So it comes to my thought why waste our time for NO DIVERSITY RESPECT for all whole Global World... Of course waste our taxpayers for more problems with many mistakes in Iraq while there are not enough Bicultural and Bilingual education in our public schools !!! We need to be flexible with our own religion belief while we CANNOT be perfect religious humans!!! If we do act like PERFECT RELIGIOUS ourself, we will go CRAZY!!! NOT ALL marriage are PERFECT LIFE!!!!

Thanks to this Deaf guy who did shared his own video response to Mish's Vlog from this ASL Deaf TV video link: http://asl.deafvideo.tv/watch/2547

Thanks. Shawn

Representating Role for Future Deaf Community?

Good afternoon it's Labor's Day Weekend!

I want to express my thoughts from my own perspective as a (either Deaf or Hearing) Mom or Parents representating for Future Deaf Community from Sharon Duchesneau's "Communication Abuse and Deaf People" on her ASC's vlog link: http://www.ascdeaf.com/blog/?p=318

This is what I am concern for our future Deaf /hard of hearing/CODA Children's role for Future Deaf Community with Equal Communication Access Needs with a better positive attitude model role representative without attacking ASL. To let you know that I would like to borrow famous Deaf Frank Turk from South Dakota's quote "T.E.A.M." as "Together Everyone Achieve More".

It is very important for us all to have good teamwork to more positive attitude model role representating for the Future Deaf Community with respect Equal Communication Access Needs without oppressing ASL access. It will be so hard for us to improve as TEAMwork as for our Future Deaf Community need while there are some people who want to keep English Language in more power of control to confuse and oppress some of our brains, souls, spirits, identity and minds.

My lonely dog is now happy to be with my Deaf son at home. My Deaf son is now home for a long Labor's Day weekend. Please pardon me recently I was watching the cable national news about a married man, Republican US Senator from Idaho… Wow very interesting news!! I couldn’t imagine myself as his wife with kids!! It’s gonna be very INTERESTING since he did said himself “never been gay” but but he has been strong against gay marriage!!

To let you know that there was very interesting histroy and article info about US Sentor from Idaho on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig

Hope you will enjoy Labor’s Day weekend! Shawn

Not Against Gay/Lesbian/Straight Deaf/HOH/Hearing Humans

My lonely dog who sat and sleeping on my lap while I was uploading and working on this v/blog. My lonely dog and I want to express you all "Good Morning!"

I am NOT against gay/lesbian/straight! I do have several hearing and Deaf friends who are gay/lesbian/straight. I sometimes wonder about my dear Deaf friend who graduated from my old oral deaf school, SJI here in St. Louis and got killed herself while I was second pregnant in 1993. I cannot go funeral in San Francisco while I needed to save up 6 weeks of maternity leave from my work after my 2nd baby was born in 1993. I cannot fly out in a very expensive far trip out there from here St. Louis. Sad there was no photo of the funeral in San Francisco Bay that I did missed it!!!

Thanks for understanding! Yes, Gary is right about important for us all to take the STRESS off from our chests and emotions to make us feel MORE BETTER! My concern about Social Peer Pressures Counselor for all public hearing schools for Deaf mainstream students, Oral Deaf Schools and America Schools for the Deaf now these days to help and develop the Deaf/HOH students to become MORE RESPECT for Unity!

Hope you all will have a very good and Happy Thursday!
Respectfully Hugs Yours, Shawn

Where's "RESPECT"????!!!!

My thoughts about Deaf students do have their own rights to withdraw and changed class just like the same with hearing public high schools. Why new Deaf students from hearing schools do NOT have education about "HARASSING" gay/lesbian/straight? Again go read on this "NEA's Safe Schools for Everyone" link: http://www.nea.org/schoolsafety/glbt.html

To my concern thoughts about Where's "RESPECT"????!!!! Thank you. Shawn

“Deaf” Jerry Springer Talk Show about "Deaf Wedding Planner" Reviews

(7 minutes & 10 seconds video clip)

Hey “Deaf” Jerry Springer where he could bring two sides of stories to audience! I am a straight married woman. I wanted to express my own thoughts! Don't I have a right to have "Freedom of Speech (or Express)"??? We the parents are responsible to educate our children to learn how to stop the "Hate Crimes" from anywhere.

Thank you, Blueapplefilms (Gary Brooks) for your wonderful "Deaf Culture" entertainment! We need to learn from our own Deaf Culture too but not only "hearing culture" entertainment! We need to be more inclusive!!!

Should we watch out and read about HIA (Hearing Industry Association) working close with ASHA (America Speech Hearing Association) on the Capitol Hill from on those links????:

2. http://www.drf.org/hearing_health/archive/2003/winter03_championHHcaphill.htm

Okay now I respect few of the vloggers who wanted to keep the comments be open to the public from my vlog and I understand that we have to learn how to FACE the criticisms from the "Anonymous" commenters in our lifetime until we die on this earth.

Enjoy your weekend!!! Shawn

Wonder about DBC's Flyers????

(under 4 minutes video clip)

I did watched Shrimpy's video clip called "Response to ASL MUSIC (B.A.B)" on her vlog link: http://wwwblogdeafreadcomshrimpy.blogspot.com/2007/08/response-to-asl-music-bab_5667.html

And wow very hot interesting issues from ASL Music's vlog link: http://aslmusic.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-do-parents-ci-their-baby.html

I want to thank both Shrimpy and ASL Music for their awsome hard working to express their thoughts and perspective!!!

Just wondering myself if the DBC will be okay for some of us to post that DBC's flyer on the bulletin board at food shoppings, public library, some stores, and anywhere nearest by the hospitals and Deaf Oral Schools??? Or what????!!!! Or should we wait until later after the DBC's decisions first????


Hey Deaf Columbia, Missouri... Someone told me there is possibly will be 5 (five Deaf Oral School) here in Missouri but I do not buy from that hearing person who did informed me... Please do check out the new Deaf Oral School called "Moog" just moved to 3301 West Broadway... Is it much more bigger school building than the old Moog's school on 600 Silvey Road????

Boy, it's SO HOT weather outside! I missed my cool early morning long walk today!!! I better do my indoor work out from my watching at least 6 minutes on Blueapplefilms' vlog called "Everybody Love ASL!!!!" and then will do 30 more minutes workout before jumping myself in the shower!!!!

Hope you will have a very NICE day and take it easy with the HOT weather!!! Shawn

Something Happen In Gallaudet's Cochlear Implant Survey Committee????

1 minute and 2 seconds Video Clip was filmed last August 03, 2007, 06:02 AM (Friday morning) was already reported to make my comment on this link: http://cochlearized.blogspot.com/2007/08/cochlear-implants-do-work.html

That was happening from Gallaudet's Cochlear Implant Survey Committee after I King Jordan became President of Gallaudet in 1988. The Gallaudet Cochlear Implant Survey Committee did quit after they throw the "negative survey form papers" in the trash. Some of us are concerned to know why they, the Gallaudet's Cochlear Implant Survey Committe were not in good team work to respect Deaf community around the global world to become more healthier teamwork and leaderships????

Thanks. Shawn
