Experiência de alunos surdos numa escola regular pensada por ouvintes

This article analyzes the answers of the deaf students of the EJA/SESI course to the question: "How was school for you?" We recorded and| transcribed the responses in Libras to analyze this exploratory research and treated data using a qualitative approach. In the statements, the three deaf students who took part in the study reveal their perception of mainstream school and report conflicts at school and in the family, as well as communication and comprehension difficulties. The facts reported are part of the participants' memories about the period of the Initial Years of Elementary School. The data analyzed demonstrate the deaf difficulty of schools, which are supposed to be inclusive, reinforcing that bilingual schools are the best alternative for deaf education.
