I also completely disagree with the individual who rated this school poorly. My son is hard of hearing, and has been attending this school for 5 months. The progress he has made has been unbelievable. The school is very upfront noting that it is a school for ORAL education. There are other schools if you want your child to be taught in ASL. Whoever wrote that review was obviously not paying attention to ANYTHING on the school's website or in parent meetings. Do your research before you condemn them for something they of course would not be offering.

I beg to differ with the individual who calls this school hostile. Of course they do not teach sign. Who would want to have their child miss out on everything this hearing world has to offer. Any hearing parent, who agrees to a coclhear implant, is initiating the process of keeping their flesh and blood from drifting to the deaf community. I am so grateful for this wonderful school and dedicate staff, because of them I can communicate with my granddaughter. I shead tears of joy when this little girl said Hi Grandma for the first time. It could have been tears of frustration and pain if her parents had only allowed her sign as a means of communication. Because of technology, no child has to ever experience a world of confusion, and frustration because they have not been provided the opportunity to learn to hear. Hats off to Northern Voices and their important role of teaching these little CoClhear children to listen and eventually to speak. Keep it up!!!

This school is a hostile environment due to banning sign language and forcing oralism on the poor children. Bilingual education with American Sign Language and English is the way to go - its what every other school in Minnesota does.
The Great!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
none at all.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
oblivious to the fact that oralism is evil.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
force cochlear implants on all enrolled children.
Ways to make it better...
there was no oppression and forced oralism.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
oppression and ignorance.
One thing I'd also say is that...
don't send your children there - learn and embrace American Sign Language - enrolled in any other schools.
