I grew up experiencing that.
First ten year of my life? Deaf culture, deaf culture, deaf culture! But around 1999... 2000... 2001, it was "CI has come SO FAR since the early days, that we might not even need sign language anymore!" And that's directly from the mouths of the TAs.
I may be young, but I remember almost everything TAs told me; a lot of it was uncalled for and should been discussed with mother, rather than her finding out at the dinner table et ceterta.
