<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Deaf education is, except for a rare
few, a failure. Deaf kids with fully normal intelligence are graduating
High School with 3rd grade reading levels. I don't know where the
quote is from, but "if you always do what you've always done, you
will always get what you always got".Or was it Einstein's definition
of insanity-- doing the same think over and over and expecting different
results-- That is to say, if nothing changes, and we continue the
same methods as we use now, nothing will change. And that is unacceptable.
Based on some of the research I've done, I think SignWriting may
be one piece of the puzzle to solve this problem. In order for SW
to have a place in Deaf Education, there needs to be stuff written in it.
I just keep plugging away to make my contribution.... ::smile::</font>

<br>
Nice to see a real interpreter interested in Sign Writing. That
tells me something more is going on with your perspectives on Deaf Education?</font>
