"will those CI children ever get to see how beautiful ASL is?"
Shel, STOP making these statements! On this site alone, how many parents have told you repeatedly, that we are teaching our CI chilren sign? This statement is simply not accurate. And I find it biased. Sure, you can say, that the stament was not directed at me, or any other parent here that has a CI kid and teaches them sign. But you must clarify that. Dont keep making the assumption that CI kids do not know any sign, when you know it's wrong. I realize that you see all of the kids that are considered CI failures. But, how often do you have contact with children that are CI successes. With that being said, how many CI successes have you had contact with in which the kid knows some sign?
I know I've mentioned this to you before, but as a teacher in a deaf school, you do not have an overall view of kids with CI, it seems that you have limited access to the kids that are thriving with a CI.
