Deafdyke, Yeah, I *really* want to go to ISD for the honours classes and the very good programs there as well as the booming social life. I am thinking about asking them about MSSD but I don't have a lot of information on it. Will search.
What do you mean by mainstreaming? I am mainstreamed since pre-K with no interpreter. I am academic, but I also utterly lack a social life...hopefully OSD, or wherever I go, will have a good balance. *smile*

Couldn't you move to Indiana, and stay with your relatives? Your parents might not have to give up guardianship. I know I've heard of kids moving away to live with relatives, and they never had issues with guardianship. One of my friends is attending MSSD and LOVES it!
What I mean by mainstreaming is that you'd be a student at the Deaf school, but attend some mainstream classes in the community.
It's somewhat good that you've got a sucky social life in the mainstream. That's a good case for sending you to a deaf school. You could also argue that going to a Deaf school will ultimatily help with employment, since this way you'll become totally fluent in Sign (ie even know the slang) and become a much much better teacher.
