Kalista, you are not the only one who was not happy at school for the deaf.
However, my reason was different.
I remember finally gave up and told my family I wanted to transfer to public school at my junior year. After some fighting with moron staff/counselor/whoever they are, they decided to let me go. Ironic, I own it to my parent and one teacher who realized that I would be better off being at public school. So, she stood up for me. I would never forget that. I guess this is the only time someone at the school for the deaf actually stood up for me, now I think about it. Sure there are some people I liked at that school but spending everyday being bored to death because all information is below my level. Lol, I remember my family being surprised that I got a "D" at some courses. Never got below "B" in public school. Come on, that would happens if you lost your hope or dream for the future. I remember hating teachers who are deaf quite more than teachers that aren't. I never understood why, even now I am not quite sure why.
I remember when I got homeworks from public school and sat down on the floor and spend quite long time on the homeworks. I was thinking to myself something like this, "That is what the students normally do? That's how it feels to be a real student?" I was so happy to do hard works where I barely had to at school for the deaf. I know this sounds crazy but...
I don't have a lot of fond memories at that school for the deaf. There are a lot of things I am trying to forget. The last two years at public school (junior-senior) is the happiest two years of my life.
