LOL.... That poll doesn't give much choice, I think. I'd choose an option that would say oral method doesnt work for everyone, but it can be a good way to teach others based on their preferences and style. Freaky and others in here have already mentioned it worked for them. I say that's good for them!

As for myself... I failed miserably with the oral method, so my teachers tried a visual approach with me.. that succeeded. It takes tough love... that's all. My dad was very anal about me getting quality education, and enforced me to follow through. He moved heaven and earth to do this. All I had to do was step through that door for myself.... do what is right for you. It takes much exposure and motivation... and you're there! voila...

The one-size-fits-all philosophy is very flawed, in my opinion... everyone has a different need and take on things.

Besides, I have seen hearing people misspell so much because of this phonic thing... haha!! They write what they "hear."

Basically, it all boils down to this... I saw that other folks feel it is up to the parents to enforce such quality education on their child/ren.. not the state, not the govt, or a group..
