How is it a war? Wars usually involves an army, I see only one person. So, Ashley enlighten me -- how can a person start a war against a person if there is no armies?

Right, but as you said you went to a deaf school for your high school years. Keep in mind, even a normal deaf person can be affected by peer pressure by other students in a deaf school. Notice how you and I do not behave the same way and how we both do not adopt the same mentality. See what I mean? Your deaf school changed you a lot during these four years of schooling whereas I have kept the same mentality, and personality throughout my school life.

Would you like to enlighten everyone on who that person is?

Nemo

I would prefer that the person come out and admit it. Only then, the healing can begin.

Well Jordan, of course we behave differently. You're from New York, I'm from Texas, that alone is a lot different. I had a huge circle of friends in both mainstreamed/public, from what I've heard from people at your school, you didn't have that big of a circle of friends. We have very different mentalities.
So regardless of where I went, we would still behave very differently. Even mainstramed, I was a social butterfly, very loud and "in your face" type of person- and that's still who I am today, deaf school didn't change that.

Blade Runner

No, statehood has nothing to do with how we behave differently. Take my fiancee for example: She shares my mentality, yet she is from California. Thus, your argument is flawed. How do you know that the people that you spoke to wasn't running off a rumor they made up themselves? How do you know if it's a fact if they have never spent a full day's and night's worth of time with me? Once again, your statement is flawed.

Would you like to prove me that your high school did not change who you are? I bet that your mainstreamed school would be disappointed to discover that you are now a college dropout, and a party girl, huh? You just proved every point I made regarding deaf schools see: my cons.

o4141986

haha jordan i didn't DROP OUT of college. i chose a different career path, like I've said over and over and over on the other forum. that path will be completed by September, and I will have a full time job, so thank you very fucking much, mr "wah wah i cant find a job wah wah i have to go back and get my BA".
and a party girl.. well gee, everyone from my public school parties. so there you go, jordan, it's not only people from deaf schools who party. Just look at spring break shows on MTV, 90% of those people are hearing, from other colleges. wow gee damn, if they're partying they MUST be from a deaf school!
I've been back to visit, all the teachers have nothing but good to say about me, one actually told my mom "I never thought I'd have to tell somebody who's deaf to stop talking so often!"
YOU do not know me. quit making assumptions out of your ass pretending liek you know me to a T. How about we get together in 5 years, and see where we are in our lives? I bet you'll be saying the same line- "wah wah i cant find a job i need my MA's"

Blade Runner

Sorry, but you're still a dropout regardless of what you claim you will do. Until I see these plans become a reality. I will regard you as a dropout until that plan is put in motion.

Sorry I don't watch MTV. I'm deaf remember? I've seen deaf school students party much more worse than hearing people. Deaf School students often do not have common sense instilled into them because there are no parents around them to teach them the difference between what's right and wrong. And whining to me about this just proves that I'm right about my cons regarding deaf schools. That tells me you're doing something wrong.

Just like you based your flawed assumptions of me about how I have few friends, how you thought people behave differently based on the state they live in, and that I wear hearing aids when none of them are even true?

You say going back to get my BA is a bad thing? Everyone I know said it was a great idea. Look at me, I got a 3.0 gpa last quarter and what you do? You whined like a deaf school student, "wahh, wahh, I don't like school but I want to be a nurse?" I mean, that screams "I want attention" just like your carebears ((c) jeff) Lauren, and Jeff.

Nemo

I see evidence of Schizotypal personality disorder appearing.

Blade Runner

From who?

You can't even spell Schizophrenic right, John.

Yiffzer

And I will turn this around and call you a deaftard until I see your plans become a reality. Don't say I can't do that otherwise you'd be a hypocrite.

Wanna come out and admit something?

LoatheMami

Not again, why do this have to be repeated like other forum?
Get it done and move on.

Blade Runner

How am I a dropout if I have repeatedly stated that I have graduated from NTID with some credits in RIT classes? Again, where's your common sense? Oh yeah, you had none to begin with. Guess your argument is flawed.

Blade Runner

Because they're like a bad girlfriend who still loves me. They just can't let me go. Even my Fiancee completely agrees with this.

Yiffzer

What I am saying is general. It has nothing to do with you dropping out.

And we all know your fiancee agrees with you. Don't remind us of that.

nightcrickets

I dropped out of college. I whine. and I am a mainstreamed student with no deaf education and no ASL from K-12

Blade Runner

Then you'll have to rephrase your earlier comment regarding me because it simply does not make sense.

I'll keep reminding you and your carebears until you all start to develop some common sense.

Didn't you post in Vampyro's thread about how you would lie to, and abuse other people based on religion? And you answered no to his question? I have a question: Why are you lying to and verbally abusing other deaf people such as me?

Should I make a post in the weight thread so all the women here on AD who does not live up to your belief of what the average woman should look like see how hateful you are to women who are not skinny?

WildHunt

Hmm. My point of view:

In a mainstreamed school, deaf students have a chance to interact with other hearing people and their hearing and deaf peers at the same time which prepares them better for the hearing world that we all live in. They're also able to learn educational stuff at the same pace as everyone else.

At a Deaf school, they're only with other Deaf students and they usually think themselves superior to hearing people... and I've noticed that the classes being taught towards Deaf students were at least 5 grades behind, even for the "gifted" students. For example, weather/days of the week/months/seasons were being taught at 6th grade at a Deaf school whereas at a mainstreamed school, students were taught the same subjects in either kindergarten or first grade.


I've always felt that Deaf institutions that has an away-from-home program in which students sleep at the school during the week is just an excuse for their parents to be rid of their children and not be really that involved with their educational upbringing.

I've observed that deaf children at a mainstream school are well-behaved compared to the deaf students that only go to a deaf school.

Just my point of view.

I doubt that. I've seen your posts. You come across as an intelligent person to me opposed to Yiffzer here.

nightcrickets

for all people who favor mainstreamed, I do too. But do you favor ASL in mainstreamed?

Blade Runner

And Mari, I do agree with that point of view.

I have observed how most deaf students who are from a deaf school tend to act superior whereas most deaf students who were mainstreamed do not.

I have often found myself interacting with hearing people at an intelligent level. You are correct that deaf schools are not teaching their students the proper tools such as science, math, and social studies at normal rate.
