How can you say that about TC? If you really knew me, you would think twice for making a statement like that. Now I know how hearing parents must felt when they tried to tell some of you how their child does with what method they had chosen you find every flaws in that method. I just wanted all hearing parents to learn signs too with their deaf child, I don't care if they choose oral, I know how hard it is to learn to speak lip reading, but oral does help them with good speech and good lip reader, only a little problem they will have some diffculities.
What method won't have that diffculities?
Flip- You gonna be kidding me when you say that those who prefer speech don't have any deaf friends what do you know? I have friends who are both deaf amd hearing. I'm not one of those deaf people who sticks in their little world who referred themselves "a big D Deaf" who thinks signs should be the primary language for the deaf ONLY. And disrinct themselves from the hearing community if this is how it is here, then I'm in the wrong forum. I've met some deaf people like that in every walk of life and I sure do not want to be around those people who are not very accepting and so self center.
