True Biz is a fascinating story of a deaf school, its students, and its principal.  I learned so much about the struggles within the deaf community regarding cochlear implants, American Sign Language, and how to best educate a child.  The decisions parents must make with a newly diagnosed hearing impaired baby were heartbreaking.
