The Good-CS is a good supplement to the English spoken language.
The Bad-CS is not a language on its own like ASL-it's only a supplement to the spoken language.
The Ugly-the population of CS users is very low. I've only had one student use it in 7 years of teaching, and I've never seen it in use anywhere else.
I'm not bashing CS at all; I don't bash any form of communication (except maybe "home sign language"-that's another story and another post). Let the child choose his/her own communication method, but make sure you use spoken language as the primary mode of communication and teach CS as a supplemental measure...Not the other way around.
School is close to being out for the summer, so my blogs will stop next week. If you wish to email me feel free to do so.
