SignWriting List November 14, 2001 Dear SW List members and Kelli - As you all know, I have email that has not been answered for weeks, because of a project I have been working on (SignBank 2.0 ;-).... So now, trying to catch up is rather amazing...I look at all the lists of messages, realizing full well that every author of every message deserves my full attention and appreciation, for their interest in SignWriting.... There was a time, after all, when no one was interested....so I am grateful for your interest...and most of all, I hope, as a team, we can accomplish our goals... So let's share a few of these messages... I received one yesterday from Kelli. Kelli has asked a long list of questions. I hope some of you might want to answer some of them for Kelli?...go right ahead...I am sure your information will be valuable to her project. Here is Kelli's message: >Dear Valerie Sutton, > My name is Kelli Ashe and I attend Greenbrier High School in Augusta, >Georgia. I am working on my senior research paper. It involves the >education of the hearing impaired and their native language. I would like >to ask you some questions concerning sign language and the hearing >impaired. I think it would be great if I could interview you. I love your >website SignWriting and DanceWriting. I would greatly appreciate it if you >could answer a few questions. Some of the questions may not relate to you, >feel free to skip those questions. > >1. What is your occupation and where do you work? >2. Do you know any form of sign language?

Explain why or why not. >5. Are you involved in the Deaf community? >6. Is there any controversy within the Deaf community concerning their >education or native language? >7. Are you aware of any problems within Deaf residential schools? If so, >what? >8. How can Deaf residential schools improve, so that the hearing impaired >exceed on English test scores and function easier in the "hearing" world? >9.
