Are you kidding me?  Not in my experience.  Those who say that statement "we're _D_eaf - we don't need to learn English" are CAPITAL-D deaf.  How many little-d deaf students say that?  Isn't there a high correlation between those who are capital-D and having family or early exposure to deaf culture?

They shouldn't be experiencing this so-called "language barrier."


It's just an excuse to lower expectations and not perform well in school.
