I learned something that surprised me in my Deaf History, and Culture class. We were asked if we had a Deaf child what kind of education would you want for them. I said I would want them in a school for the Deaf. I was very surprised my professors response. She said that kids who go to schools for the Deaf don't know how to socialize with the hearing people. It left me speechlsess for a minute. I havespent time with Deaf kids, and adults who have been educated in schools for the Deaf, and find that to be silly. I guess it kinda like people thinking home schooled kids are not exposed to oher kids. Crazy!
like your post here...yeah it is weird - i agree, theres a still ALOT of misconceptions....it can be very damaging...
