I don't know how each person was educated. How can I answer that question?
I can tell you, as a deaf person, that I wouldn't let any person with that little knowledge you exposure here, have any responsibility or give any advices on how I or other deaf kids should learn english. It's no doubt that I would be more than happy if Shel90 was my teacher when I was a kid, as she is an educated professonial with the highest possible knowledge how deaf kids learn to read, write, sign and talk. She also have first person experiences and have fluent bilingual skills. Sorry, but your ramblings are amateurish.
