I Support the Use of Sign Language in Deaf Schools

Hello to all bloggers,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Watermelon. This is my pen name.

I grew up communicating in sign language so it seems natural that I advocate the use

the use of sign language both in deaf residential schools and mainstreamed schools.

I know from my past experience that oral method of communication was not effective for teachers to transmit information to the students. Reading lips is not effective because some people are more difficult to read for reasons. One is mustache. Other is missing teeth. When reading lips, a lot of information had been missed. This method had not been successful. Sign language provides a full accesss to information that students need to learn math, history, writing, reading and other academic subjects. I strongly advocate the use of sign language as the best method for direct communication between teachers and students.
