SignWriting List
February 15, 2002
Hello Flavio and Everyone -
There has never been a Deaf person that I know of, using SignWriting
as an excuse to avoid learning...In fact, just the
OPPOSITE...SignWriting opens their inspiration to learn more...Deaf
children's literacy skills are improving in the classrooms that use
SignWriting.
Yes - we all experience this kind of frustration....Below is a list
of questions and answers on the web. If you read number 25 below, you
will see some discussions on this very topic, which comes up from
time to time....SignWriting is still here, after 27 years, and not
going away, but instead spreading, so I think in time the
frustrations should get a little better! I hope so ;-)
