I think this is another case of "your milage may vary". Meaning, each school district is most likely a bit different. My son has been in mainstream school that has classes dedicated for the deaf kids and then they are in with the mainstream kids for a couple of classes like Art and PE. The teachers are certified and the schools seem to be receptive to adapting the methods to what works for each individual student. That's my experience in my area but it doesn't mean it's the norm. Again, your milage may vary.
