(forgive me for the redundant words hehehe)<br /><br />I have always been at odds with whether to teach them how to read and write or to teach them how to work. Although both of them are very much interconnected, I tend to lean towards the job opportunity side. Language problem has been the deaf's problems ever since deaf education was established or mis-established. CSB is doing a great job in trying to bridge the gap. But the gargantuan work is still up ahead.<br /><br />When parents tell me who's to blame about their deaf child's language problem, I tend to point to their high school system, then high school to elementary, then elementary to home because it's not common for them to enter kindergarten. The blame comes in full circle when I ask them how do they communicate with their deaf child. Then they realize that they're the ones who have issues when it comes to their deaf child's language problems.<br /><br />:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485932.post-65887207593134003272009-12-25T01:40:34.224+08:002009-12-25T01:40:34.224+08:00Merry Christmas to you and your dear family, Mec! ...Merry Christmas to you and your dear family, Mec!

Kudos to you, sis! That's really selfless...Wow! Kudos to you, sis! That's really selfless of you. :)<br /><br />That's really sad about the deaf kids, though. Grabe. I never thought they had problems reading.<br /><br />I remember tuloy Marlee Matlin, I follow her on Twitter kasi, when she was tweeting about closed captions on some movies. May mga negative reactions like mas marami daw malalaking problema sa mundo, why is she tweeting about stupid captioning. Who cares about that naman daw! Sobrang nainis ako sa nag-react ng ganu'n kasi we cannot imagine the life that they live. I mean, imagine watching something and you have no idea what's going on and all. It was a legitimate concern. Kasi nga, according to Ms. Matlin, there are millions of deaf people in the world and to not care about them is a serious problem.
