Data, please. FOIA is a good idea though these are state schools, not at the federal level.
Are you gonna ask around to get data?

I've seen that too at both VSDB in Staunton and MSSD as well.*nodding*
I have seen enough to know it's true. Basically, they treat these schools as if they are the dumping grounds for the students with problems.
I made the choice to attend a school for the deaf. My parents asked me if I wanted to attend a school for the deaf and I said yes.
Despite the problems they had at the school, I don't regret my decision one bit. People are being puerile by being thankful for something they never experienced.
With CSD schools' scores continually in the tank and budget woes of California, does it not make them vulnerable?
Rather than argue about the cause.....why not agree there are many problems and start talking solutions?????
A lot of times, data doesn't explain the real-life reasons why things happen....

In Virgina, it'd be the Hampton school for the Deaf that'd be the dumping ground. It was the Black school for the Deaf some 40 odd years ago, hence why we have two VSDBs in Virgina. It's nicknamed Hampton for the Deaf because it's in Hampton. Now it's the place for deaf students with multiple problems and disabilities.
So maybe that's why so many folks think the end-products from manstream schools are superior? Something's gotta give somewhere....
There's one solution... get the parents to work on the language development within the first five years before they are enrolled into a program.
However, only the parents can make that decision. If they fail to, then the taxpayers are forced to pay to fix the "problem" that may never be fixed.
By the time a child is 8, if the child has little or no confidence in reading... the child is more than likely to be doomed for the rest of its life.
I hang out with Deaf people that graduated from Fremont on a regular basis across the country and I can say this with confidence - They're not vulnerable.
But in the mainstream theres a ton of issues as well. A friend of mine had to teach a high school senior what the word "Improve" meant last spring.
I made this video a while ago... May as well share it because I share the same thing in this thread.

Banjo said:Its quite apparent that you haven't spent a semester or so at a deaf school.
The bad seeds I am speaking of is these "trouble kids", these with multiple disabilities, or severely mentally challenged.

it is true that deaf schools have kids with other disabilities, but that is not the majority of students in california. Plus, those kid's don't test (they are exempted) so they aren't pulling the averages down.
