WEEKLY BLOG-SIGN 3
      Hey guys, Welcome back to Sign 2 Me! Happy early Halloween! Can't you believe it? Halloween is just around the corner and I cannot wait to eat all the candy but...that will not happen.(I wish..) Why am I talking it? Pardon Me!
     REMINDER: THIS BELONG TO THIS THIS LINK: KALLAS. -AHEM- Hey...have you kept a secret? A secret that nobody want to know? Something you really wanted to tell but cannot to say it? Don't get me wrong people, I'm not to make any rumors. Don't ask me about my secret. DON'T. THINK. ABOUT. IT. You guys must be thinking why are we talking about secrets, THAT is the topic today. This topic is called Confidentiality and what is CONFIDENTIALITY?







.      Confidentiality mean a secret. Teachers need to keep because each students have a disability or a situation, causing a students' life and teachers are not responsible for the students' personal life, all the teachers can do is respect the child's personal issues. Most teachers need to be careful what they say to the students' confidentiality because if the teacher spills the beans, it could possible to ruin the teacher's career and might ruin the child's future.

  According to Patti Hartigan, former reporter/critic/columnist from Boston Globe, she told her opinion on the True/Slant website and she's right! Not just only the teachers, Volunteers too as well. From my opinion, I volunteer sometimes to keep myself busy, honestly I never heard or seen someone gossip about disability, the issue and all the drama and that's a good thing! It shows me that this person is mature enough and maintain the confidentiality but it's still a issue. People should sign for Confidentiality Policy, even my mother agree with me about confidentiality! If someone was talking about me because I have a disability of being deaf, to my mom, it's a insult with no respect. To me, I would feel insult and looked down upon me. To learn more about Confidentiality, click to this website on the link, confidentiality!

                   There is one mintue of short video about Confidentiality so bring your snacks and enjoy the short video, giving tips!

           UNTIL NEXT TIME, MAY THE SIGN BE WITH YOU AND....Happy Halloween!

Weekly Blog- Sign Blog 2

    Hello people on Earth! Aliens on other plants as well. Welcome to Sign 2 me!

      Oh the sweet smell of Fall...people growing pumpkins, making costumes, scaring people with scary stories about ghost and monsters...AH, my favorite time of the season, I love it so much.. -ahem- I'm not here to talk about Halloween and the love of Fall season, how random!

      Anyway, my teacher from BCTAL gave us a few scenarios to pick and I decided to choose number one scenarios. Remember, this is only just for a blog to KKallas! TIME FOR WHAT WILL YOU DO! Get it? Anybody? No? Then that's just me.
      -AHEM- Scenario number one,
              You left Campus for lunch and when you returned to Campus, you missed the bus that transports EAT Interns to your Field Site Campus. You don't have a car but your boyfriend said that he could take you to your field site. You took him up the offer. When you boarded the car to return to your Home Campus, Another Intern asked why you weren't on the bus earlier. You asked the Intern not to point this out to your EAT teacher, Mrs. Cragire, since no harm was done.
          HOLD THE PHONE! I think as my opinion, if I missed the bus, I would let my EAT teacher know where am I and the reason why I missed the bus. It's nice of my "boyfriend" (If i actually have one..) offer a ride, but I would let my EAT teacher know that I will be ride with someone that I know and be arriving late. But for my safety, I would have to ride with a student that WE know that is part of EAT class, it would be much safe and easier. If I had gone with a stranger, I might be kidnapped and gone missing for 24 hours and ALL the police will be looking for me and I might be alive or gone dead. Yup, I think I'm going with a friend or a classmate for a ride, end of the line.
               That would be all today, Until next time, MAY THE SIGN BE WITH YOU!
                            Ana Avalos, Signing out!
