I have seen and been around deaf schools education programs is not that great. Sorry to say that most deaf schools don't always follow the same educations level as normal hearing students have. :-)
That problem is becoming old news. I work for a deaf school and we use the public school's curriculm. I am teaching exactly what teachers are teaching hearing students with little modifications to make it more visual so the deaf children have full access to language and the curriculm content.
