Frustration overshadows Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind’s 100th birthday celebration
A universal problem confronting the deaf: Schools for the deaf are being merged, closed down or otherwise marginalised. It happens everywhere, even in the States - home of the brave, land of the free.
“As long as political people are deciding the future of education for the deaf and blind, nothing will get better,” said Angel Ramos, former superintendent of the ISDB. “Even if you look at the committee that is studying all this, you will find that there are no educators in the field, or educators who are deaf. How can they understand this?”
