and knew at that other thread wasnt for discussing abt in regards to this issue -- HAVE any of u seen kids growing up with the education of "phonics for reading" program qq especially those who has hearing kids or have hearing family members that grew up with that program --
here in the mid atlantic region our hearing kids are taught that method while young in elementary school and it PEEVES the hell out of me cuz ive watched my hearing neice and nephew be taught that and their spelling is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! and i have to ask them to please define the word theyre trying to spell cuz its sometimes very difficult to try and figure out what theyre trying to write/type -- ive pointed that out to my sister whos their mom and my mother and told them that teaching them by reading and spelling is the best way to go -- and pointed out Deaf children can be taught reading and have good spelling skills WITHOUT use of "phonics" which i thought was blantant BS by the county's department of education and they said its a "good" program
i think NOT!!!!!!!!!
what is ur take on this issue qq

I strongly enforce the program because so many Deaf people have very weak english comprehension skills. It's very important to have good writing skills to help you in the future when you are in the business world, especially when you are in the hearing world. We cannot isolate ourselves into the Deaf world... this is a "mainstreamed" world whether we like it or not. The picture is not black and white.. there's grey in the picture, too.
the states does the policy and all that -- i think its the parents that should be able to choose the best education there is for the kids regardless of the mandatory education that the county or state has set up aside from the mandatory hours of schooling which is 1080 hrs (if i remmy right) -- and that would include the choice of enrolling the kids into the phonics program or not -- i remmy i once asked my sister why not she take her son (my nephew) out of the phonics program when i saw how badly his spelling was and it being based on what he hears and she said she cant cuz its the county's policy 
and i told my sister its purely :bsflag: she seemed to agree but said she has NO say 
of the county to do that 
Do I make any sense here?
its been known to happen as well especially with those diagnosed with dyslexia would make it much more difficult for the kids who are dyslexic and already battling wits with language -- would be interesting to see if there are any documented statistics regarding those who are dyslexic and their success rates using phonics -- anyone out there might know qq cuz i sure 
You know what, my English teacher (at college) told me that lot of deaf people have trouble with A and THE and explained to me why. Its because DEAF people dont hear sentences EVERYDAY from thier EAR like hearing people do. Also told me that EVERYONE always have ERROR grammar -- NO ONE IS PERFECT.
