Wow, Shel!!!! I have noticed that there are a lot of parents of dhh kids of our generation ('70's and 80's) who intially thought that it would be an awesome idea for their kids to learn ASL, but who were dissauded by professionals.
My parents started learning ASL for me, but were pressured into dropping it by the professionals. My parents ALSO say that they should have stuck with it.
AllI can say is FUCK oral-only and AG Bell!
