Deaf POV

I don't believe the Clarke School has a very positive reputation within the Deaf community? Could some Deaf people address that in this article? --Macrowiz (talk) 00:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarke School just offers an alternative to educating deaf children, that's all. In fact, Clarke and the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, Conn. (as you know, the first deaf school in the country, while Clarke is the first deaf school to implment the oral method) have come together and created an informal parternship to combat the shrinking enrollments in deaf schools around the country, not just at the American School for the Deaf or Clarke School itself. About the reptuation part, well that's for each deaf (and hearing) individual to decide. I'm deaf myself and I attended this school, so I don't know any sign language while many of my classmates do, but I'm still interested in sign language and respect it as an unqiue language. What parents need these days is a choice, and they have a difficult choice because schools like the American School and Clarke School respectively are world-class schools in their respective fields. --Gmc1020 (talk) 03:18, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many of you may not realize that Clarke School offer distinct services recognized by worldwide. First they have early intervention and pre-school training program, second they have speech and hearing training program, third they have highest quality education in the entire deaf education. In middle school, they are using college level school books to help them be prepared for the mainstreaming schools that they will attend. Because of that, many Clarke graduates went on to prestigious college preparatory high schools such as Williston Academy and Mount Herman. Several of Clarke graduates attend Ivy League Universities. 95% of past alumni have college degrees. This school cannot be compared with other schools for the deaf in that respect. (MAG)

This has nothing to do with method of communication and is separate from speech and hearing training program. This method and other methods are still in controversy and parents have the final rights to decide on which methods. Educators nationwide for the deaf children are focusing on the methods of communication rather than the quality of education. (MAG)

Assessment

Important school. 1867. Early for Deaf school. Needs some references and more length/ topics. A detailed history would be interesting. Welcome Victuallers 17:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
