School signing strategy has me baffled

I'm currently doing BSL level 2 as my daughter is deaf. For the first time this week we had a lecture on the grammatical and syntax difference between BSL and English and SSE. As many of you will no doubt know, the word order is very different. And confusing. So I now have a suspicion why my daughter at 11 has an English reading age of 5. Why would you teach two contradictory methods at the same time? It just defies logic. So my daughter is being taught English, SSE and BSL. I have now asked a professor of sign linguistics, the NDCS, the local autjhority and various support groups. I have received nothing so fa rthat explains this. Anyone here got any ideas?

I agree with you. It must be difficult for a child to then learn a different way to write from how they talk.  It’s bad enough understanding the concept of bsl   Never mind translating that into class work for a child

      Learning to create an Inclusive Environment...

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      An inclusive environment starts with the space itself, at least for me. People need to feel comfortable, seen, and able to communicate without the room working against them. That is why I think privacy and calm matter so much when you rent a space for business philly. A dedicated studio gives you more control over how clients, students, or collaborators experience the work from the moment they arrive.

      Hi everyone, I’m new to this group & I would love to find someone to practice with. I’m learning BSL level one & I don’t have anyone to practice with, my confidence is low when signing because of it. I’m learning because I’ve always wanted to & think it’s important to do so. I have just failed my 1st exam so confidence is even lower, I don’t want to let myself down or the deaf community. I can do this!!! Is there anyone who can help? Thank you & I hope to find friends

      Lighting

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      I’ve always liked builds that already have a story built into them, and the Firehouse is one of those sets that feels like it deserves more than plain shelf space. That is why the lego ghostbusters firehouse light kit catches my eye. Once the lights are on, the whole model feels more like a real late night scene instead of just a finished build. I’m curious whether other people here like adding lighting to display sets or prefer to leave them untouched.

      Newbie to BSL.. only know the basics.. i make BSL jewellery..

      By Charlotte 23 · Posted

      I like jewelry more when it carries something personal instead of feeling mass made or purely decorative. Seeing someone create BSL jewelry from the basics has that same kind of charm because it turns meaning into something you can actually wear. That is probably why Casual Carats stands out to me. The pieces feel easy enough for everyday life, but they still have that thoughtful side to them, which makes them feel a lot more real than accessories that only look good in theory.
