Omg I almost die laughing bi bi is less the risk failure? How would you know because you say so or because Shel says so, I'm sorry but I would rather to see the studies that would show me this program will beat the odds.
And bi bi has everything?? Gives a child everything?? 
If it doesnt give the child everything, then what are we not giving the child since u know so much about it? Pls name what the BiBi program is not giving the children? I dont think deaf education is a laughing matter cuz these kids' future are at sake.
jillio don't say never either, when this program is only 20 years old, you cannot say you never saw bi bi had fail a child. |
Have u worked in a bibi program?
I nor Jillo didnt develop the bi bi program. For me, I had observed many different deaf ed programs except for CS and saw what the bibi program can do for the kids so I picked it. I cant speak for Jillo on why she believes in it.
Has nothing with because I say so or Jillo says so...it is all about the kids' needs. If all the kids show progress whether faster or slower in those programs, what's wrong with supporting those kids? If it wasnt, then I wouldnt say all those things but I havent seen any kid regress cuz of the program itself. 
Besides, Jillo is talking about what she saw in her experience in the
past so unless she is lying, she hasnt seen it fail a kid but she never said anything about the future. None of us know what will happen in the future..only what we saw in our experiences. I saw so many other programs fail many deaf/hoh chidlren including the one I was raised in but I havent seen the BiBi approach fail any
SO FAR. Doesnt mean I am saying it never will in the future.
