I see that my current students have better knowldege and literacy skills than I did when I was their age. I didnt even know what a Venn Diagram was until college and these kids know what it is.
I dont take offense that these kids are doing better than I did when I was their age. It is not about me. It is about making deaf ed better for these kids. Why are u taking offense to that if it is a possilbilty that those kids will achieve higher literacy skills than any of us including Jillo's son and my brother?
Nor do I take offense when people bash the oral-only programs even though I was raised in it cuz I know it is not about me.
