very very interesting... found this today... and LOVE the picture it creates...
oral only education... this is what its like.Imagine if, instead of attending the grade schools and high schools that you went to, you were instead sent to schools in another country where they spoke a different language. And... given that sooner or later your hearing would allow you to pick up this different language, for good measure let's say you had NO language to begin with in the first place -- and that in this foreign environment, you and your teachers were separated by a thick glass wall that prevented you from actually hearing them. How much do you think you would learn in this environment? Exactly.
