In Response to “Residential Advisors” and “Surrogate Parents” ~
Posted by LaRonda on March 27th, 2007
This afternoon (Tuesday, March 27th) I came across a very special vlog posted by “Jason” entitled: “Residential Advisors”. In this vlog, Jason expressively highlights the significance of the role of a Residential School Advisor or “RA”. The RA’s are staff who work in the dorms to supervise (a loaded word) the students who live at the deaf residential schools across the country during the week, and sometimes on weekends depending on the school schedule and set up. Jason reports how, unfortunately, one of the most important roles in a deaf student’s life is often the least respected or understood.
