When pupils disrespect HI teachers. At The Rim As Deaf.Read increasingly appears to veer away from deaf issues to trivia perhaps time to get back to issues that really concern the hearing loss areas. Like on social media: Query: "Any teachers in the group have tips for classroom management when you're missing snippy things that students are saying under their breath? My principal has spoken to me about missin... Fri, Dec 14 2018 · 8 hours ago Once upon a time in the Deaf World. At The Rim Hi! (Looking for deaf fantasy fans and books). I'm a novelist working on an urban fantasy novella featuring a deaf protagonist that I'd really like some feedback on.

Fri, Dec 14 2018 · 9 hours ago Human Rights Day 2018 At The Rim An abject failure mostly, with both the USA and the UK accusing the UN et al with allowing Human Rights abusers as members and wanting out, as the Human Rights Law is 'Unfit for purpose' in the 21stc and empowers only the extremes..

At The Rim When it comes to communication it seems our young deaf prefer text to sign language for most communications. Deaf should listen to this since it comes from their OWN research.

Tue, Dec 11 2018 Absurdia. At The Rim I'm just saddened at the complete disinformation and bias this post has aired. All this 'hate' about CI's and the deaf that have them is not good an image for the sign user, or for its perceived culture. It's barely a step apart from the 'deaf wanabee' views of old. It's hate messenging passed off as 'fact'. We know CI's do not restore perfect hearing it's old... Mon, Dec 10 2018 Sign Solutions Forced into access U-Turn?

Mon, Dec 10 2018 Why Deaf educational Approaches are chaotic? At The Rim Continuing recent coverage of online debates you WON'T find in the usual areas (From the Deaf 'Dark Web').

Wed, Nov 28 2018 Britain's leading deaf charity riven by warring factions At The Rim A blast from the past, and a watershed for grassroots inclusion, but, has inclusion really advanced with UK Hearing loss charities? or did they just move the goal posts and re-define and re-brand themselves as something else entirely?
