Then why do we have so many problems with grammar if it is so easy?  I am thinking that their main reason for going to school is to learn English.  Why would you teach English through ASL if the purpose is to teach their native language which is English like everyone else----like their words around them?  ASL is meant to be a no-word language.  It's visual period.  Many of them don't understand grammar usage including articles like 'is', 'are'.  ASL is different than English in grammar plus it's a words language.  It's best to use one language as prominent in all of the courses and keep ASL in one hour of class daily teaching, but not for teaching English, Grammar too much of the time.  Some children are confused than others.  Others will prove capable of absorbing much more information easier, but that's not a blanket for all.
