DeafDigest - 09 December 2016

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, December 9, 2016   -- film about three travelers (deaf, blind, and non-talking) We laugh at the three wise monkeys (one covering ears, one covering eyes, and one covering mouth). But if they were human beings, could three of them travel well together? There was a film of these three human beings traveling togeether through Europe. That film is being shown at the Film Festival of Eindhoven (in the Netherlands). It shows the problems they faced and how they helped each other. See the picture at: http://35.182.75.222/three-wise-humans/   -- more deaf Barbados natives in New York than in Barbados A newspaper story today was about a deaf man that lives in Barbados. He said that he only sees just a few deaf people in that country, but when he vacations in New York City, he meets many deaf ex-residents of Barbados!   -- to be deaf-enough or not-deaf-enough Is there such a thing as being deaf-enough or not being deaf- enough? Years ago a deaf woman who was selected as deaf president of Gallaudet (that the students opposed) made newspaper headlines. She told the reporters that the protesters looked down on her as not being deaf-enough. There is a parallel in Great Britain. A deaf boy was turned down by his school district when he applied for an Educational Plan (same as our own IEP). They said the boy was not deaf-enough. He is deaf in one ear and severely deaf in another ear. Still not deaf enough for these school district people.     Latest deaf jobs: http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ Barry's collections of past articles (with today's update) -- deaf owners of zoo http://deafdigest.com/collections/barrys-collections/ 12/04/16 Blue and Gold editions at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
