LOL, I don't like entertaining. I find that I am becoming more like Yvonne and like my own space and peace and quiet.
Me! Me! Me! Me!
mmmm, I will send you my sun and you can send me your rain. It's a win win situation.
That's a shame!
In the UK it is extra expense for the education authority but regarded as essential so that the school curriculum is accessible to all, and so it's a right for those who need it. Sometimes there are almost as many staff in a classroom as kids if you have some who are having one to one assistance. Some parents will go to tribunal or even court if the LEA try to withdraw their kids help.
o-O, Hopefully nothing happened.
Hopefully this tenant will stay!
Most deaf kids will go to a specialized school for deaf kids. But if you wanted to attend the average school and you needed an interpreter then you would have to hire one at your own expense. The school will not do it for you. They will tell you to go to the deaf school.
@Yvonne G Would you mind going on over to my thread Kang and Rue. If you could read the last couple of posts I could really do with some advice!! I am slowly going out of my mind as I don't know if what I am doing is enough or if there is anything else I should be doing as well.
Many parents want their child to be in mainstream schools so the LEA has to meet that child's needs.
I can't think of any schools specifically for the deaf in Wales at the moment. I'll have to check - there may be.
I am not sure what the level of education is at the deaf school, they may be better or worse off I am not sure. As I don't know anybody who is deaf.
I imagine that you could possibly fight it, if there was no deaf school available in your area. Say if you are living in a rural area and there is only one school available. But then the chances of there being a teacher who can teach deaf kids being in that area is not guaranteed either. Soooo i think those kids are most probably either home taught or if the parents cannot do that then they have to make do at the normal school and most probably have to learn how to read lips. Not actually sure what those kids would do in those circumstances to be honest.
Many parents here don't want their children in any sort of special education school because of the stigma, even if that special school is better equipped to deal with their needs. That is quite sad when you see that happening, but it's parental choice.
Very sad for those from poorer homes.
We all complain about our health and education systems here, but we are luckier than many countries.
Yes it is sad. But I suppose there are both the pros and cons to be considered in those circumstances. Being in a school with other normal kids would teach the child how to cope very well in the real world, but might make them struggle a little bit more. Being in a specialized school, sets them apart but then they are able to learn much easier as it is geared towards their special needs.
I agree. There are a lot of things we take for granted, myself included.
Id like to NOT say that we need rain, ‘cause last year once I installed rain barrel collection system, we went on to have THE WETTEST SUMMER on record. Sooooooo, we could use a bit of rain now to freshen the garden, and clean the pollen off of everything.
Oh how exciting!!! It will be great if we all get to observe her mothering process!!!
And rare enough to be exciting [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
