VIDEO [CC] - Mainstream school is failing Deaf students in American Sign Language.
Here the Proof! School Mainstreaming IS FAILING Deaf students! A recently published study by the National Center for Special Education Research (under the U.S. Department of Education) titled "The Secondary School Experiences and Academic Performance of Students With Hearing Impairments" (February 2011; http://ies.ed.gov/ncser/pubs/20113003/) shows that over 80% of Deaf and HH students are not doing well in the areas of reading comprehension, word knowledge, math, science and social studies.
With the recent threats to the existence of schools for the Deaf in the U.S., Canada and worldwide, this research underscores the failure of mainstream education for Deaf students and the importance of maintaining schools for the Deaf as an educational placement for Deaf and HH students. The implications of the failure of mainstream education for Deaf students is also discussed.

Audism At Gallaudet University
ASL Version: Out of the entire world, within the walls of Gallaudet University Deaf Space. Profound Audism occurred.
SimComm Destroys both ASL and English. Audism also Destroys respect for Deaf people and their Deaf World especially at Gallaudet University.
Shane experienced profound Audism in Gallaudet University out of all places in the world. A place where the environment is safe for all Deaf people. This intrusion of SimComm and voicing is very irritating. He was not even angry at all at first. He wanted to give positive exposure to the fact it's not a good manner and that it is very disrespectful to Deaf people in general when hearing people SimComm, talking with the voice, using cell phones, etc.
He was hoping for dialogue and discussion to bring better understanding, respect and knowledge, but instead, this hearing student who claim to be a Coda got up and yelled at him with such profound venom, disrespect and hate. Such display of profound oppression has left him shocked and loss of words and thoughts. It even affected his friends at the table.
What hurts him more is that there are other Deaf people there who agreed with him, but sat and did nothing to stand up against Audism. He was even more shocked with the level of apathy. Are they so oppressed and thinking it's so difficult to fight it and they give up and just succumb to it?
Shane need your help to put an end to Audism from hearing students and put an end to apathy of Deaf people or their lack of courage to stand up for ASL and Deaf World.
Shane's vlog is not an attempt to degrade or belittle other people most especially the hearing group/CODA was referring about. His point was to bring this up to discussion and to raise awareness of Audism and acknowledgement of Deaf Space at Gallaudet University.
Please remain respectful and civil to each other in hopes we all meet together in harmony and mutual respect. Finally, He truly want to thank those who have shown support and encouragement. Thank you. Shane.
