April 28th Presentations

NCAA Athletes:
I thought that all of your information was really interesting. Although from what you presented, it does seem like you have a lot of information. Was 6 pages really enough to cover all that you discussed in class, or did you leave some of that out. As I said in class, I really liked how you compared athletics to music and the arts and how people with those majors are 'professionally trained' but can sell their works for profit, but student athletes cannot.

Hearing Impaired:
I really like that you're including a contrast between hearing and non hearing educations. I think that it will make your points stronger.

Special Education:
I actually had no idea that there was such a disparity in regards to minorities and special education, but thinking back to my school I remembered that in our school (of roughly 1700 students) DEFINITELY under 100 were minority, probably under 50. But most, if not all of those kids were also included in the programs that our school offered as additional assistance to 'supplement' classroom learning. It really makes me wonder where there is such a disparity and what really accounts for it. I think reading/researching the topics for your paper would be really interesting.
