Comments on: Harvard and Gallaudet - Similarities? http://www.deafdc.com/blog/guest-blogger/2006-05-09/harvard-and-gallaudet-similarities/ Sat, 22 Nov 2008 10:33:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: joseph rainmound http://www.deafdc.com/blog/guest-blogger/2006-05-09/harvard-and-gallaudet-similarities/#comment-14492 joseph rainmound Tue, 29 Aug 2006 14:09:40 +0000 http://www.deafdc.com/blog/guest-blogger/2006-05-09/harvard-and-gallaudet-similarities/#comment-14492 If I had been a gallaudet student I would have done a lot more research. Interviewed teachers and faculty and staff, gotten documentation, and followed up on that PART report. However it's my understanding the Media dept was closed, so maybe there was nobody to teach or learn these skills. If I had been a gallaudet student I would have done a lot more research.

He seemed very nice. We spoke on a variety of issues. He knows some BSL as well as ASL, French and English, so I'm pretty sure he comes from a multilingual perspective. I recommend both of his books, but not as primary sources - people should do more research there. Once people start using rudeness as an excuse (hey, he's French) to stop reading, THAT brings the level of discourse down. Imagine what you'd say about Jean-Paul Sartre... Z,

I am enrolled at Community College of Rhode Island and if it was not for interpreters and CART...it would be difficult to finish one class by just "lipreading". Unless the teacher just swears in class or keeps asking "do you lipread", I would be at a loss. Currently, with tuition/books I am paying $1,400 dollars for a semester...the school itself will be paying an extra 16,000-18,000 dollars for this semester for the interpreters and CART. Now both these accomadations do make it easier for me to attend a non-Deaf school but at the same time I am quite isolated. It would be easier for me and cheaper for the state to send me to live at Gallaudet or NTID. I would jump at the chance to go to either school, for succeeding at school, but at the same time being isolated makes for sour chocolate cake.

In Rhode Island, I understand the University of Rhode Island has a graduation rate of around 55 pct (+/- 5pct) so yes it should be a concern.

Many times Washington D.C. is on the top 10 list for murders and etc....It should be the responsiblity of the US Government to make the city clean and safe. Harvard is in a beautiful area and so is Brown University in Providence, RI...if these 2 great school can have a great surrounding area then so can the great Gallaudet, but alas most don't care about the Deaf until its re-election time :( .

For example, in this situation the writer is using them in a manner that would be considered a noun. Now if they were to be considered adjectives they would have to be "modifying" a noun. Since a noun is not present, ie. students, humans, kids, people, etc., then the adjectives present themselves as nouns which contain its own modifyers/adjectives. This particular situation can be very confusing to anyone, even someone who has a degree in English. Now on to the most important rant.....please don't insult each other as this just takes away from any unity that the Deaf community has since without unity the hearies will have more power over us.

Gallaudet gets per head funding. I do not think Gallaudet will do a such thing unless they can find students who can fill in the void.

As for the rest, I don't give a hoot! Gallaudet has some fine history but... I reckon I had best step down off my soapbox now.
