-- interpreters that are accused of wrongdoing
There are deaf jobseekers that are being interviewed. There are
deaf students that take classroom exams. There are deaf patients
that go to doctors. When things do not go well - no job offer,
flunking the exam, illness still continuing, etc, some of these
disappointed deaf clients blame interpreters. Our interpreters
are not at fault, and they do not deserve anger by the deaf.
There is a big discussion on an interpreting yahoogroup titled
"deaf students lying against interpreters"!
-- video relay services at an employment agency
Deaf people look for jobs. And there are employment
agencies that try to find jobs for them. What about
an agency that has a deaf client and there are no
interpreters around. The agency, named Federal
Employment Agency, has contracted with a video
relay services for that purpose. Where is that
agency? Sorry, not in USA, but in Germany!
-- Problems with Marge and Luke
As well we all know, deaf Luke and hearing Marge are
participating in the TV Amazing Race All-Stars against
other teams. And there is a problem! In the jungle,
they cannot see sign language clearly because of
bad visibility. With hearing participants, they shout
out and hear each other by voice. Not Luke and Marge!
