Yes, but how often does that happen? It DOES happen, and I think that is good. Also, I'd have to say that just b/c a kid shows a preference for oral abilty early on, that may not be a sign that they will always be oral only. Were you aware that it's actually kind of not too unusual for parents to switch methodologies as time goes on? Also, little kids may think "Oh my parents talk and hear. I don't need to do that" but as time goes on, and they experiance the Fourth Grade Glass Ceiling, and lack of on par language abilty (e social emotional) things may change.
I do think that yes, there may be some deaf kids who really do not find ASL useful. There are hoh kids who don't after all.
Heck, even a lot of AG Bell kids end up at NTID.
