I went to deaf education for some reason and you said yellow bus comes early for deaf students come on but I got off same time with hearing and I have to RUN and RUN all the way to my yellow bus because I am part of deaf program. I hate to see my yellow bus leaves and pissed me off. Now yellow bus for the deaf program are AWARE about mainstreamed kids who went to hearing classes and go on deaf yellow bus.

Earlier of my preschool, I have oral teacher and went to hearing classes which is no trep at all. They not know nothing about deaf program because I live in small town in that state.

I moved to big city and went to deaf education class for two years. Of course, there is no trep program, just deaf education program. Now, I heard not much trep program around the city but only one school need them.

I moved to bigger city and went to mainstreamed for 12 years. I sees ASL treps and SEE treps, too. Two deaf education program in that city. Now, I heard there is more deaf programs around the city which is success.

I been friends with hearing and deaf students. They do learn to communcation with me or another student who went same with me.
