No it doesn't make sense. Faire Jour, I hope that you are able to be at peace with your daughter's hearing loss.

Happy Birthday to all of you! Have a special day. :P

Welcome, I grew up in lovely Ohio. What city are you close to? I grew up in a suburb of Akron, the former tire capital of the world.

Yes, you should let him know. It is common sense to me that you should not disclose everything about yourself. When I interview people and they start telling me about health and mental problems, it's a big red flag. Not the fact that they have them, but that their not smart enough to keep...

I may omit information if I knew I could do the work. Just like when you apply for health insurance, if you disclose everything you will be turned down most of the time. Sorry this happen to your friend.

I think that is a great idea. I am willing to help.

Yes, that works for me. Looking forward to meeting you.

me too :giggle:

I wouldn't expect deaf parent to use spoken lauguage with their kids, but would hope that they would provide them with speech classes.

I don't know why. It shouldn't be that way. I feel just as strongly about Deaf children learning oral skills. I think using a hearing aid is more of a personal choice.

How traumatizing. I always decline offers to visit churches.

I don't agree that all children should be give a CI or required to use hearing aids, but I do think they should all learn ASL and have speech, listening, and lipreading therapy. It is giving your child all that you can to prepare them for this world.

Yes. No one can force them, but I think it's only fair to the child. What is it that you are worried about?

No. ASL is not going to harm the child. Even if the child is hearing, I think it would be so enriching for them to learn ASL. Also, I would think that if a parent enjoys signing with their child and feels comfortable the child will feel the same.

this is true about private schools :shrug: Homeschooling may be ok for some situations, but often it seems like it is a parent is trying to brainwash their child.

That makes sense. Everyone has different needs. Sorry you had a hard time in school. I didn't like my public school and would have loved to go to a private school. It's hard to be stuck with the same people for years. There were 87 people in my class.

I agree and would prefer to send my child to a public school but, public schools are not to great here so I may go for a private school.

:gpost: Very irresponsible. Sorry you were exposed to that.

I am sure she isn't a mean spritied person. I just don't feel comfortable when others are treated that way.

Comments like this seem really mean spirited to me. I enjoy most of your posts but always feel bad when you attack someone.
