I stand by what you say.. There are NO program for the Deaf that uses
ASL as the first and utmost language of educating... So therefore no one
can't say it does not work..  They have nothing to base this on.
Take, in Gallaudet's days..  there was a majority of 51% of the teachers
being deaf.  They used ASL.  The program was VERY successful to my
understanding, UNTIL the oralistic manaics tried to take over.
