It's parents who decide where their kids go to school. When a kid is young, the mother wants the kid with them. It helps, I think. It helps them feel secure. When the kids are older, I think they're more likely to want to be with other kids, and kids like them.
Young kids don 't think about whether they're deaf or blind or anything.
They just play. But when you get older, kids start to make you feel different. Kids can be mean. And you want to be around other kids like you. At the same time, when you're older, you start to realize you're deaf and what it means.
