Discussion and notes:

Note: "CAT+UP" ("catsup") -- is a joke sign for "ketchup." It started in the Deaf schools and spread throughout the Deaf community. Thus one of the signs for ketchup is indeed "CAT+UP." Of course, lots of people just mime "hitting the bottom of an upturned bottle" to mean ketchup but I think it is good for students to see "real life" signing as done in the Deaf world -- and that includes the puns.

Note: "Mainstreaming" is the practice of placing deaf children (note: the word "deaf" lower case, refers to physically deaf children--not necessarily children who are culturally Deaf) into the "mainstream" of public schools instead of placing them into residential schools for the Deaf or other special programs. Many culturally Deaf individuals oppose mainstreaming because even though the deaf child is surrounded by other students he or she may actually end up feeling isolated and alone due to communication barriers.

Related information:
* There was a law passed called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
* This law (IDEA) requires states to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to students with disabilities.
* The IDEA contains rules that require states to educate students with disabilities in the "Least Restrictive Environment. (LRE)"
* Many "Hearing" people feel that the least restrictive environment is in a mainstream public school.
* Most culturally Deaf people feel that the least restrictive environment is in a residential school for the Deaf.

 

Note:  "LRE"
The Least restrictive Environment provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): "...to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including children in public or private institutions or other care facilities, are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily." (20 U. S. C. §1412 (5) (B). Also see 34 CFR §§300.550-300.556.)
