Well, you know us adults sometimes have trouble seeing the forest for the trees, and kids see right thru things and get to the point. :) Dianrez put it very well in her blog. There is a need for healing among those who suffered due to AGBell's past policies of oralism. And there is a need to create a positive outreach for bilingualism to hearing parents of deaf children, as 95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents. According to some deaf people, DBC is juggling too many balls and as a result, their mission appears to be confusing. You're right to say that you don't mean to dismiss the past, but you don't dwell on it. That's a great attitude! Have fun at summer camp! Hi David!

I've got a 11 years old son who'd rather play World of Warcraft game than blogging his thoughts! :) I agree with Dianrez and there are many people who do need healing in order to move on. Many of them don't have a great support system like some of us so we do need to hear them out - who else but us? We understand them better than most people could. Anyway, have a great time at camp!

You are funny! Dianrez, I don't mean to leave past in the past, but I mean don't dwell on it. White Ghost, first of all, I am not a wizard, I am a sorcerer. You are funny!

Keep on posting! There are those who were seriously harmed by past emphasis on oralism who are now crying "beware!" to others. It would be wrong to dismiss them as being in the past, though. We need to listen to them as well as to the hopeful ones who paint a bright future. That’s a good post, you have a great deal of wisdom for a young age. Keep on posting!

And FYI I live on the planet Earth. And if you want to say something, please don't insult. Aidan, thanks. Hedor, I love my audiologist. She never told me to get CI; she said it was optional. Candy, I love candies! Whatever happened in the past stays in the past. And FYI I live on the planet Earth. And if you want to say something, please don’t insult.

Where have you been? Are you stuck on planet Mars? Get real! If you learn from the history, you will know what to say! It is over 120 years of oppression and lies perpetuated by AG Bell and his cronies. AG Bell and his cronies will lie through their teeth to get anything they want. They want to dominate the deaf education with a false facade using oralism. DBC is on the right track in educating the community about our proud ASL heritage. We simply are telling the truth and we know from our experiences. So puhleez do your homework before you toot your horn! =) Geez whiz! Where have you been? Are you stuck on planet Mars? Get real!
