[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2214965, member: 238814"] I always wanted to learn. So after my children left school and went on to uni, I went to college for GCSE’s and A levels, but they didn’t have enough of a support system in place for a profoundly deaf person as me. So, it was suggested I did them via distance learning, by the same college. When it came for the degree I did it via the OU and that again is distance learning. There were difficulties when the promised Saturday once monthly classes I had to attend, over the 6 years, and the hearing support rarely turned up. And I was chasing it up all the time. So, it carried on being frustrating. I stopped once I got my degree. I did want to go further to PhD, but by this time I was tired of still struggling because of my hearing, and often lack of promised support. However, online learning is easier to access now, and I join other courses to learn what I want to learn. So there are always places to learn, and technology changes now, so there are different means of doing things. [/QUOTE]
