Don't assume what you don't know about me. My experiences with the Deaf go way beyond one child. I've actually seen what some of you are saying happens in the mainstream. I also never denied it...

No, my niece isn't deaf. But, my niece would befriend any child regardless of any difference. We raised this child to respect everyone. I wish I could say the same for some I've encountered here.

This child has done well, because, she had/has the best of both worlds. This child can function well with just ASL or she can function well using speech if she chooses. That is what I support. The...

Because, I know where this child lived; in my area. There are NO deaf schools where I live. There is only mainstream education; albeit a much smaller population than a larger city school would be. ...

Since when does having a 3rd or fourth grade education cut it? It doesn't. That's for ANY school, btw. In today's world, one must possess a high school diploma or equivalancy to even get a job. ...
