I can handle truth, what I object to is maliciousness and hypocrisy.
My child and all of her peers at school are at a far greater risk than FJ's child. They attend an ASL-based school for the Deaf that's out of district. They are driven from hours away every day to attend this school. They take swimming lessons daily at school, in a pool. They cook in a kitchen. In a thread about making a choice between educational environments, if you wanted to be bearer of doom and gloom, wouldn't a more relevant truth be for you to post child mortality rates due to auto accidents? Or drownings? Or allergies? This school requires annual dentist visits, what about posting the side effects of fluoride, of xrays, have you ever read the FDA small print on vaccinations?
I don't see how your child and her peers are at far greater risk than FJ's child. You're blurring the actual message.
In terms of "risk" - we're talking about the ramification that deaf child will face if raising him/her as a hearie so let's cut this silly farce and stay on topic without these hyperboles, si?
so do you agree with this post?
he would be missing out on th ability to hear and understand the spoken language of others.
but if that is not of value to you, more power to you. But know, you ARE making that choice.
