I just wish that people should take cued speech much more seriously than SEE/PSE/LOVE.
None of the MCE's are linguistically sound - only Cued English is truly a complete language capable of conveying all the phonemes of languages visually.
People have been wasting so much time trying to teach deaf kids English with modified signs when all they needed to do is to *cue* to them like they would *speak* to the hearing!
Cueing is a visual counterpart of speaking. Cueing and speaking are separate processes and independent of each other BUT they co-exist perfectly. Cueing does not depend on speech and speaking does not depend on cuem (cues plus mouthshapes).
Studies have consistently find that deaf kids who are exposed to cued languages acquire them the same way as the hearing who are exposed to spoken languages.
Just think... if you can't hear, you need to see phonemes that are visual. Each cue represents a phoneme just like each speech sound represents a phoneme.
If teachers use cued English in deaf schools, I can tell you that their English language will FINALLY get on the par with the hearing but deaf politics, past bitterness, and ignorance are preventing deaf kids from having equal access to English. Remember, speech is NOT required.
Deaf cuers can have terrible speech yet can cue perfect English!
By the way, I am a deaf cuer. Have been cueing since I was 8 years old.
