Public school is better because they taught me in a normal and appropriate pace.
However, both school did have teachers that will help you if you request for one.
Just the problem I had was that other teachers (at deaf school) I had did not teach what they should have. I mean we had lessons in math for like 15 minutes then rest of 30 minutes we just...played cards. I mean come on...this is stupid. Card games does not teach you algebra, geo, etc. AND that certainly won't help you on state test nor even at college level.
Also, deaf school teachers would listen to the students, if students does not want to do homework or work hard, then they will give them less and as result of that, I suffered. Public school don't do stuff like that.
Deaf school was too easy (they set standard frakin' way too low for deaf students. It's almost like they made an excuse, just because deaf students did not have a good start, then they are doomed forever or something. I know that's not always true.)
Deaf school is always...boring because I knew I will learn nothing when I am there. Not all deaf schools are good.
I don't know how to make class exciting...I just assumed that classes aren't supposed to be that exciting after all (even college isn't that exciting lol)...However, when I remember times I was excited was when teachers (at public school and deaf school) would bring visual projects to share with the class. That is a nice break from all oral lectures.
Maybe that's one thing you can do, especially with deaf students. I would think anything visual is almost always beneficial to deaf students (teachers of deaf students please correct this if I am wrong).
Sorry for a long post. Hope this clear up things as of why I think public school was better for me than deaf school. Did I answer your questions? Let me know if I went off the course.
