Hmm...calling FJ, who is a mother, a "kid" sure sounds like a snide remark to me and taking a pot shot at her for no reasons.
sounds like a wolf cry?

Of course.

the point is, 90% of deaf 11th graders at california school for the deaf can't read.
i see that people here are choosing to put 100% of that blame on the parents and that is crap. Surely that school has some responsibilty.
i would NEVER send my child to a school were 90% of kids are failing, regardless of the excuses. That is a school that fails it's students.

yes, parents are key. That is one of the PROBLEMS in deaf education. If a students language is not the same as the family's how can the family support the students learning? If a parent is still learning the language how do the teach the child academic material in that language?
Misread it.

The mainstream schools were crappy where we lived in Missouri in handling things with my daughter and her learning disabilities. I withdrew both my kids and now still home school my kids. My daughter had been attending speech therapy, but was told she no longer needs it. She still, obviously, has her learning disabilities and I will most likely be teaching her until the day I die, but I am making the effort. The school could not get her to even learn anything. It's been me that does it. She spent more and more time in class, playing with toys and regulating oxygen for a friend with guidance from the "para-professional" and changing diapers on a wheelchair bound classmate. There were 4 of those all ion the same mainstreamed class.

Deaf education might be poor BECAUSE of ONE common denomination:
MOST Parents DO not communicate with their children effectively and left school to do the burden.
Sounds like the schools failed your daughter.
My HEARING parents do sign in ASL BTW. Communicating with your children are the KEY in acquiring a SKILL in ANY language. ASL is my native language and English is my second. I'm bilingual and I don't see any harm in that.
Children MUST read massively in order to be able to have a good education.
Children MUST have good communication link with parents to have a good education.
Children MUST go to a good school to have a good education.
Children MUST have a positive motivation to have a good education.
Those are what I apply to my children, like what my parents did to me.
Do not blame a school singlehandedly out for poor Education.
