Sorry to read that. This kind of stuff...makes me :pissed: Oralists make me want to puke, seriously. Their arguments against signing are pure bullshit. Real signing is beautiful.


Even though I am a hearing person (and I don't pretend to be an expert on Deaf culture), I think Deaf people know what's best for Deaf people. It's ridiculous how many hearing people who have NO IDEA what it's like to live as a deaf person pretend to be experts on deaf education.


I agree 100% with your post about learning ASL first and then using that to teach English. Everybody needs to start with a language, and I firmly believe ASL is an excellent language to start with.


damn oralists..... :rl:


I really think deaf kids should only learn to use their voices if they want to, not because their hearing parents are too damn lazy to learn to sign.
