Hi, everyone! My name is Rebecca, and I am learning ASL at a college in Nashville, TN. I love learning the language and love the new friends I have made in the Deaf Community. I have a project I am working on for my class in Deaf History and Culture. I need to contact 2 Deaf individuals I don't know, one who went to a residential school, and one who went to a mainstreamed school. I need to ask 4 questions:

1. What was your method of education in school (oral, signed, etc.)?
2. What are your likes and dislikes of the way you were educated?
3. What would you suggest about education to parents of deaf children?
4. What do you think will happen to the future of Deaf Education?

If anyone has a chance to answer these questions, it would help me out so much. I would love to get to know more about your experiences, not just for this school project. The more I know about your experiences, the more I become sensitive to Deaf people and their experiences.

Thanks!

They offer ASL courses now? I thought Nashville State Community College was the only one offering ASL courses?

I didn't know. That's why I asked. I've been away from the area for several years now, but Nashville was my original intro to the Deaf community.
