Joy News - Several pits dug by illegal mining operators in the compound of Kyebi School for the Deaf in the Eastern Region, is threatening the lives of its 235 students.



The illegal miners started digging these pits some few meters from the classrooms four years ago.



The children have to restrict themselves to just a few metres from their classrooms to play. Anymore and they stand the risk of tripping and drowning in pits dug around the school compound.

Joy News' Beatrice Adu reported that the situation has worsened with the onset of the rains as the large pits are filled to the brim.



One child is said to have died in one of the pits two years ago.



Some residents are afraid to speak publicly about the matter. They have accused some chiefs and persons they describe as ‘big people’ as supporting these illegal miners.



School officials and residents are calling on the Ghana Education Service to urgently come to their aid and build a wall around the school to protect the children or risk more deaths. ...

#fakeinterpreter - Education Rights For Deaf Children

VIDEO [ASL/CC] - Education rights for Deaf children (feature of the #fakeinterpreter)



The #fakeinterpreter incident during Nelson Mandela's memorial teaches us an important thing - if you can't sign, don't pretend you can.



However, there is a large number of incompetent communication support workers "interpreting" for Deaf children in mainstream schools in the United Kingdom.



Deaf children are born with the same basic capacities for learning and language as all children; they can and should reach their full potential with appropriate, visual, quality educational programmes and support - it is their human rights!

Deaf Students Protest Coach’s Replacement

EXCLUSIVE California School for the Deaf students protest coach’s replacement.



RIVERSIDE, CA - At least 90 teenagers at California School for the Deaf, Riverside, left morning classes Thursday, Oct. 31, to protest the replacement of the high school boys’ basketball coach.



Students demonstrated outside the gym over what they said was the forced resignation of coach Jeremias Valencia and the hiring of former coach David Hamilton.



“We don’t want him to be our coach,” 11th grader Miranda Murphy wrote. “We’re trying to get Jeremias back.”



The California Department of Education issued a statement from Riverside campus Superintendent Mal Grossinger.



“I can appreciate that the students in question feel strongly about who serves as their basketball coach, but this is ultimately a personnel decision that had to be made by administrators,” Grossinger said. “We will continue to encourage the students to return to class and discuss more constructive ways to share their views.”



Students had painted a banner saying “We want Coach V. back” and hung it on the chain link fence that faces Arlington Avenue along with other signs protesting the coach’s being replaced. ... Read more: http://blog.pe.com/high-schools/2013/10/31/riverside-deaf-students-protest-coachs-replacement/
