Kim,

I hope I guessed your name right. Something real good will come your way. One day, it will. :-)

I have a couple of friends who have worked in similar positions as yours, and they all have expressed frustration at trying to break through the culture of audism. You're not the only one!

Am so sorry about your disappointment, it sounds crushing, conflicting and feeling being torn. It seems they didn't value your experience/knowledge which is a shame! I think they're more interested in keeping students there= $! If they transfer students to Deaf schools, they lose $. Nowadays, higher ups only think of $ instead of others' needs...they don't consider you as a valuable asset to their students' future...damn shame! You have the gift to teach. One door closes, another door will open.

Viewed your latest videocomment in DC. Hm. Did anyone try making contact with you after your walkout, trying to resolve a few issues, or anything like that?

I felt you. I am sure that you are not the one. Bec, I faced it too. I had an emotion and effects my family. It's the best way to let it go and move on. It's not cool. But Thank you for your efforts and stand what you believe! Be strong!...

you got my shoulder, I understand what you mean. our world is so small you can paint it so fast before the paint dries.

Wow. I don't know what to say, but you made the best decision that you felt right. Remember, a pebble thrown in the water does make ripples... so I am sure that your expertise and knowledge have touched many ... it's just we don't see it, but it's out there :)
