I had terp students in my class who acted like that, like they were so "in" with the Deaf people. I think that's weird, personally, and have to wonder what they're trying to prove. There's a yahoo group called deafwannabes. I suppose there's all kinds. But I do use relay if I'm calling...

Rose, that's not a stupid question at all. The literacy rates of deaf children continue to level off at 3-4 grade. There's really no place for egos in this. I'm sorry if I'm coming across strongly to people, but attitudes have got to change on both sides. There is no right and wrong, it has...

Not true. It's equally limiting from both sides. And learning to speak is difficult for some, for some it is EASIER than signing. It's not just about learning to speak either, it's about using residual hearing to learn english grammar, to obtain information. People are different and should...

"What is all the fuss about?" I am with you... I'm so sick of people using divisive tactics that do nothing but hurt kids. There's nothing wrong with signing, and there's nothing wrong with talking. There's nothing wrong with using ASL, PSE, fm system, speech therapy, phonics. How many...

"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today...

Thank God for responsible Administrators :)

:thumb: Way To Go! Effort definitely is important! I don't know if the method is as important, but matching the method to the child is, and giving english a strong focus, which it sounds like your school did. And of course if they don't take advantage of it, that's their responsibility...

My hubby is my best friend. Most things I share only with him. But some things are more women friend type things that I talk to them about. Then there's also the kind of secrets that I don't share with anybody, especially if they could be hurtful. So I guess IT DEPENDS

I used to think that too deafdyke, but the tone of the list has changed. There's more people using sign now, and it seems more balanced. What's good about Listen-Up is that it's for parents only. It's a safer environment, especially for new parents who are hesitant to say everything they're...

I think it's time to let go of this. Children are getting CIs and it's really not the end of the world. Kendall Elementary School has a bilingual program which targets deaf children who have CIs or who get good benefit from hearing aids. They have a Deaf teacher, Hearing teacher, and Speech...

I have to disagree with you. It's really not about forcing anyone to conform. It's about having the skills to have as many opportunities as possible in life. I have 3 hearing children and 1 deaf child. I reinforce the need to be a good writer with my hearing children just as much as my deaf...

Yep :mrgreen: separation from God or from each other, that's the illusion ;)

Oops, got off the thread. Isn't this camp story just another example of how extremely dangerous the evangelical beliefs are? They have no boundaries, anyone and anything is fair game. If you have a child who is gay, you as a parent need to make sure your child knows they are fine just the way...

The Bible says that God is Omnipresent, present in all places at all times. Consider the idea that instead of God being a separate entity that decides what's good and what's bad, what if God is really Omnipresent, in all things, the LIFE FORCE in all things. Then that would mean that God...
