The other option is for her to get a CI and improve her oral skills but not a good reason to get a CI. Besides she doesnt want one anyway.
Besides the school already employs oral deaf educators who, of course, are hearing.

It is very very oppressive in so many facets.
NCLB - NO child left behind No Child Left Behind - ED.gov
federal regulations for explain set up who qualifies for special education. State and federal education departments set up just about everything you teach and why you teach. They provide testing and testing measurement of accountability. AYP, TVASS, Achievement. The individual schools have very little say so. We can set up "programs" but my school is a title one school with means more federal regulation. We receive extra money for low income children so the federal government requires a detailed budget for us. For example I can't teach in the same classroom as the title one math teacher. We also can't share a classroom with resources. We have to have separate classrooms. Just a lot of little rules.
All the state sets up our benchmarks - SPI for teaching. We are limited by what we can teach based on spis.
Could jillio be elected to the school board even though she is hearing?
That is not a reason to get a CI. I agree. Does she have tenure?

Also, teachers have to be highly qualified to teach in certain areas. I think it is silly cuz testings do not show which teacher is qualified or not.

Good question..I can ask her. Schools are starting to not to offer tenure anymore.
Do you know that under NCLB, my daughter who is Asian-American(biracial) is not counted for AYP,Adequate Yearly Progress? We don't have 45 Asian students, so her test scores do not count. She does count in school-wide achievement.
One of my fears of moving to anything state. My mom wants me to move home, I don't want to give up my tenure.

While homeschooling should certainly be an option for those who are inclined that way, a family should never be forced into homeschooling simply because the public school system is failing to meet a child's needs. ALL children are guaranteed a free and appropriate public education under the law.

IMO, NCLB is the worst peice of legislation to hit the educational system in years. It has had exactly the opposite of its promoted effect.
oh highly qualified!!! I am highly qualified in regular education because I passed a test. So since I am highly qualified in regular education, bingo I am highly qualified in special education. Now teachers who have taught 20 years are not highly qualified because they did not take this specific test by this specific test company. WTF.
we agree! break out the blizzards for all.
I'm on an ice cream kick - and yes it is cold here.

Right? Why? Direct result of the test based principles behind NCLB. It is a negative policy for educators and students.

In case Buffalo missed that last question, I'm going to speak up and say that I don;t think Buffalo would have a problem with me personally sitting on a school board that oversees a school for the deaf.
Maybe the majority of the board would be deaf if there isn't enough deaf people involved. There is not too many Deaf professionals. I don't know how the other Deaf people would want - all Deaf or majority of Deaf on board.I do agree with that comment too. But as you know the free and appropriate public education is within the scopes of regulations. We, educators and even adminstrations are limited to what we can do and how we can do it.
I had a child two years ago who has William's. Her mom wanted a specific textbook for ther child based on research. It is called Reading Mastery. Our school took money out of PTO funds to get this textbook kit. I used it with her for two years. The mom was not happy with the progress. She felt the child needed more inclusion time and wondered why she was not reading or progressing. The educational program was based on IEP and the parent input. The parent was not happy because the program was not a "miracle."
I have to say it increased the reading ability of my other students by at least 6 to 18 months. It is a great program.
Well the child gets ready to go to Middle school and the school could not meet the needs on the IEP. They have a research based program called Language! The parent got upset and put her in homeschool. Finally found a program that would take her at 500 a month. She is still not progressing. The educational program is not in her ability. She needs more life skills program. But we did the best we could with what we had.
