    Deaf children and hearing parents...why don't the parents learn sl?

    Instead of trying to discredit the person, try reading to whole paper for a change. The information provided answered all of your questions. In fact, it is often better to read the research rather than take someone's word for it. Since you claim to be so educated, perhaps it would be beneficial...

    Deaf children and hearing parents...why don't the parents learn sl?

    I shall address your points one by one. I unfortunately cannot PM at this time because I haven't reached 100 posts. To return to the topic; as I have said before I don't truly believe that parents refuse sign language. And I have posted research which can be implicated in stating that deaf...

    Deaf children and hearing parents...why don't the parents learn sl?

    I will apologize for such a pathetic statement. However, I have edited it and refer you my new updated post. I "oopsed" out of astonishment at your indignation. As I said before, I have accumulated 7 years of post graduate work. Six of which have been actively involved in research, be it bench...

    Deaf children and hearing parents...why don't the parents learn sl?

    I am affiliated with the process of understanding. Do you need a CV? However, this is not an appropriate diversion of the topic. Instead of holding legitimate debate, or conversation even; it appears that you need to belittle. And this is a trend. I think I should graph it for you so you can see...

    Deaf children and hearing parents...why don't the parents learn sl?

    Wow. Clearly, my point was missed by you but I will try again. I posted an article with numerous false assumptions as a satire, a.k.a., it was a JOKE! It illustrated my point precisely, which was that causation cannot necessarily be drawn from correlation. And I just wanted to show flip and all...

    Deaf children and hearing parents...why don't the parents learn sl?

    I think it important to define our words and clarify our statements. I wish to provide another clear example of how correlative research proves causality. "According to the Pastafarian belief system, pirates are "absolute divine beings" and the original Pastafarians.[3] Their image as...

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    If the parents can't do it, then someone else. What is the issue there? As long as the child gets it.

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    I made that statement because that is what I read. I will find the paper again and get back to you by Saturday. I am looking at both sides and I still think that early ASL works, I never said that it didn't.

    Huh? How is an accurate portrayal of ASL slanting towards a hearing parent?

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    I have read all of the papers you have supplied and most of the other papers recently posted. There is no bias, sorry you see one. What I do have a problem with, is the constant arguing and accusations. This is supposed to be a discussion. My posts have also said this:

    I don't think that is ok. But like I said, I personally can't change it.

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    I am sorry that you find that offensive, as it is misleading as well. Unfortunatly I am not a web diesigner and cannot change that. It is also statements like that that makes me look at other research as well.

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    If it is based on an opinion then it should be qualified as such, it was not. Still offensive. I don't know how I give others an incorrect perception of my intent when I am quite open with it: With regards to looking at all sides of an issue I think it's pertinant to look at all the...

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    Saying that I am on here to prove a person wrong, when I have never, ever said that, is not an opinion, it was a statement. It was an attempt at circumventing my requests for the information. Even when I've added the information I've said that I'm not trying to discount the studies. That is not...

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    Why? I simply asked that flip stop saying incorrect things about me. That is not a can of worms. I guess I should have made my previous comment more specific.

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    Telling people they are wrong and saying that they are misleading are two different things. I posted the extra information because I felt that it needed to be posted in order to frame it in the appropriate context. When reading some of the papers that were referenced I personally felt mislead by...

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    First off, I have never said that I wanted papers to prove anyone wrong. I have never said that anyone was wrong either. The most I've said is that the way that the information had been presented on this forum, to me, has been misleading. I know I quoted a sentence that didn't say that...

    The Economics of Cochlear Implants and Deafness?

    I'm not sure what Cued Speech has to do with any of this. I am interested in the research you mentioned. Spoonfeeding and providing at least the name of the author that did the research presented are two totally different things. If I went to a prof. and asked for more information about...
