But when I was in jr. high school.. I had an option to go to a public school nearby that specialize deaf , but mom said no to that.

I thought professionals would know better now after they are done experimenting. It amazes me that my son is hearing, but his school is more concerned about his social life than his reading and speaking skills, and want him to socialize with other kids more. But if they still do oralism, I guess they don't care about deaf's social life.
