	Deaf Tall Poppy Syndrome
		This is one that constitutes a leader of the Deaf.
		One Deaf writer classifies gossip as one of the mainstays of the deaf community.
		Being Deaf, if you are unable to follow a "hearing conversation", Deaf people often perceive this being the fact, hearing people don’t have the same problems putting up with Tall Poppy Syndrome among their community and the "hearing" community being a large one.

	New Zealand Sign Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like other natural sign languages, it was devised by and for Deaf people, with no linguistic connection to a spoken or written language, and it is fully capable of expressing anything a fluent signer wants to say.
		When the first school for the Deaf (then called the Sumner Deaf and Dumb Institution) was opened at Sumner, south east of Christchurch in 1878, she applied unsuccessfully for the position of principal.
		Instead it went to Gerrit Van Asch, who agreed with the Milan congress of deaf educators of 1880 (to which no Deaf people were invited) that teaching should be oral only, and that sign language should be forbidden.

	Art, Fashion & Compassion: An interview with Deputy Principal Mario O'Brian at Van Asch Deaf Education Centre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Van Asch has been on this site for 125 years and I am sitting in a room here with people who were probably at school here in the 50's and 60's.
		It's also a place that is really significant for the deaf community because this is their old school and we have groups allied to it like the Friends of the Museum who come and visit on a monthly basis.
		After the event we as a school are left with a wonderfully enhanced museum with more resources and more photographs, a brilliant model of the old building which was the school from 1904 to 1981 and there's a marvelous stone sculpture left in a memorial garden that was sculpted by an ex-student called Donald Gibson.

	Hearing Loss News and Articles: Deaf children victims of bureaucratic turf wars
		The Wellington Association for Deaf Children is calling upon the Government to provide free New Zealand Sign Language classes for all deaf children and their families.
		Parents and the deaf education centres have been advocating for free sign language classes for deaf children and their families for a long time.
		But in reality sign language support is only available in some centres, and where it is available parents have to first pay for themselves and their deaf children to learn before they can access the scheme.
