Keeping an impartial view if you have decided that you would like your child to attend
an establishment that learns through the pure oral method only, then the argument for this as the preferred route is that, by using this method you are allowing your child to learn techniques that will help them participate more in the hearing world by communicating verbally rather than having them become dependent on sign language. The argument of purely oral and signing will probably go on forever and as you have just read there are arguments for both techniques and it really boils down to personal preference.
