One of them being that hard of hearing students should not be permitted to talk - only sign in American Sign language - she did not care what parents thought. Even in the last couple of months, a current ASDB teacher taped a student's mouth during class-time for "speaking" as well as hit him with many students and staff witnessing this. It was reported, but due to her "ties" with Nancy and certain administrators, she still remains. The bullying continues on campus from certain deaf staff. Was this disclosed in the AZ star? NOPE.
For the sake of the school I surely hope this isn't true but if it is true then the teachers and administrators chose a poor course of action through the willful discrimination, abuse and neglect towards hard of hearing students who may have a preference to speak as it is their natural habit. If those things actually took place by menacing, warning, or punishing deaf or hard of hearing students for talking in school then those teachers and administrators involved need to be fired. Is there a school policy at ASDB of not allowing hard of hearing students to talk in school? If so then it's possibly a poor policy to begin with, especially if punishment calls for taping a student's mouth shut or hitting students to get him/her to stop talking with their voice.

Be wary of Craiglist. It is full of untrue stories. I suggest that you delete the story for peace. Thanks.
anony @ 5:46 PM,
I will not delete it. As with any and all stories until fully corroborated is to take it with a grain of salt. I made clear this story has not been vetted nor am I saying that this story is true. Other people have witnessed elsewhere that the taping of a student's mouth for talk has happened before. So, this story out of Craigslist may be quite relevant...then again it may not.
Please don't identify me and don't ask. This happened in the ASDB middle school and it was witnesed by several of us. Yes it was reported to Arizona Child Protective Services, CPS. There haa not been an investigation probably because CPS is understaffed and underfunded. Or maybe state politics are involved. The teacher that did this to kids did it before and is rabid pro-ASL, pro-Deaf, and got to come back. No worries. Very, very, very well connected politically to the present political hacks that are pro-Deaf, share the same sexual orientation and connected to each other by a religion.
