I think it would depend on the Situation, if a hearing kid is a CODA, the deaf parents don’t feel comfortable about sending the kids to hearing school than maybe they can send the hearing kids to the deaf school. if a hearing kid wanted to get deeper with deaf world and learn more about deaf people because they had a plan that major in helping other deaf people like an interpreter or a teacher for deaf kids in the future, than maybe. but the deaf schools should mostly be reserved for deaf kids. also kids with autism who mostly uses sign language for speaking, maybe could go to a deaf school but it would depend though.
CODA= Child of Deaf Adults, which means the hearing kid has deaf parents.
I am not talking about the regular public schools at all...
Dorothy D, do u have a problem with deaf ppl? they are not any different from hearing people, the only difference is, they can't hear, that it. there's ways of comunicating with deaf people, using a paper and pen, typing to eachother on the computer, signing, gesture, lip-reading. i am sure there are more ways too.
Should Hearing Kids Be Allowed to Go to School for the Deaf and Live in the Dorm With the Deaf Kids?

I'm a CODA and I would have loved to have been able to go to a school for the Deaf while I was growing up. I never really felt like I belonged in the hearing community. Even now, I teach Deaf children and I'm very involved in the Deaf community… I guess I always felt at home there.
I'm not sure if typical hearing kids that did not come from Deaf families would benefit the same way. It really is a unique cultural, linguistic experience… though I think it's important that more and more hearing people learn ASL. It's sad that there's still so much discrimination happening, and it's even more sad when hearing people that have Deaf children can't even communicate with their own kids.
