Like I wrote earlier, we don't know how much these spoken kids are really picking up in their lessons. I want them to actually learn. If the parents are confidence that their kids can pick up spoken language without a problem, then they should go to a auditory- based deaf school or teachers. but not every spoken language children, even if they seem fine, can do this which is why they need accodamation in the first place. In fact, being visual is probably something they've always done. Unless you are talking about CI children, but I highly doubt their parents want them in deaf school unless their CI failed and need visual languages. so it would be a waste of TOD time to be more Auditory-based type of teachers if their parents won't put them in those type of school in the first place, even if it is auditory-based sharing school with ASL signing kids.
We may not know how much auditory information the kids are picking up, but the teacher should!!! That is why they should have the knowledge and training I am talking about!
I think the misunderstanding between you and I is the term "deaf school". I think you mean ASL-bi-bi deaf schools only. I am talking about ALL teachers of the deaf and ALL schools for deaf students. I am not talking about taking ASL away from the schools were it already is. I am talking about training the teachers who work at or will work at oral schools. Shouldn't they be trained in auditory teaching, since that is who they will work with?
