Also, there is another aspect of the oral-only philosophy that I do not like. That it discriminates against those deaf who have no oral skills while deaf schools or BiBi programs accept deaf children who dont know ASL and work with them until they are fluent in ASL. The same thing goes for adults..in all of them that I have seen..both schools and mainstreamed, I have not once seen a deaf adult working there with the children.
