I think that the Deaf Institution might have change a lot plus having to learn to speak and lipread along with the ASL for her education. Everthing in the Deaf Institution It might have change over the years from long time ago. I think Kimbrly818 need to talk with her daughter's teacher on why she want to come home. I guess to my thinking that every Deaf School is different when it come to deaf education. Like she said she may not be ready as she is homesick for her own environment at home. There is something that you both of you can solve the problem of getting a good education and hopefully that she will still try to adjust her environment at Deaf Institution and still come home during the weekend. As for me I have never gone to Deaf Institution like Minnesota School for the Deaf in Faribault, Minnesota years ago when I was young. I had a hard time in the mainstream elementary and high school with speech and lipreading which is like hell to me, but I had made it through until graduation. I still had a little bit problem with colleges and my grades are okay as long as I have interpreters and notetakers. I hope you both find the solution to your problem with your daughter. Good Luck and Welcome to Alldeaf forum.
