Deaf School or Oral School?

There are schools that are $23k/yr/student. I'll use that argument. Interpreter alone will exceed that cost.
 
One problem with hearing schools is that kid, especially girls now that i think about it, attack everyone who isnt the same as they were. I was a late talker, even now i have a lisp, so i got picked on alot.


Is that your daugher. She's absolutely Precious. (#'Y'#)

You're right about girls being more discriminating against those who do not speak as well. The theory is that girls, who are more adept and value communication more then guys tend to be more prejudiced.

You were bullied at school because you are deaf, that's fucked up.

Oh, since this website is called ALLDEAF.com so I thought all members are deaf. Sorry, my bad. I am still new here. It's hard to tell who is deaf and who isn't.

I am sorry to hear that it happened to you. Did they pick on deaf students, too?

I don't know about that. it was her job to make us realize that there was a problem with our development and help us fix that. i can now speak without tripping over words as much as i did.

Its fine.

I dont know.There's a deaf school in our area so there probably weren't many.
 
hearing kids will continue to pick on deaf/Deaf/Hoh even though if they can speak well but affect their self esteems big time. I can't stand the idea of seeing them to get older and become adults and have self esteem issues to the day. That is unfair for them. Hearing people don't realize how important social skill is part of important to those kids' self esteem. jeez. That's how hearing people see this social skill as a gambling kids' life. =/

I am not sure what you meant by that. Are you saying that parents have something to do with bullying?

i think so at times. if a parent were to raise a small child, this is just an example,treating her like a princess that she would become a princess. Until she developed her own conscience she'd put herself above others much like a princess.

I got it. That's very true. They disrespect others because they think they are better.
 
yes christe that is my daughter and thank you. We are learning fast that the hearing world doesn't accept the deaf/hoh and most of our comments have came from adults actually..

we are different... we have to make our own path through life... it is something your daughter will grow up knowing... learning... but just show her how much you love her, support her by using ASL, never making her use her voice or force her to physically listen to you, or force her to read your lips... support her being her, and things will work out. Family is very important. Let her be around as many Deaf adults and children as you can... help her learn she is a strong deaf girl, but mostly... love her.

I was bullied majorly in middle school just for being deaf. It had gotten so bad that I had to change my class for my safety.

But what good would that do? Still doesnt solve the problem for many many deaf children being placed with educators who dont know diddly squat about deafness.
