Sign Language taught in Schools
I want to see Sign Language being taught in Schools.
My sons all had no interest in Spanish or French but their Grandad is deaf and learning Sign Language would have been so beneficial for them.

Why is this important?
Lots of people are deaf and being sent to special schools if everybody learnt Sign language from a young age then young people could have an education at a main stream school. My dad is deaf and I have learnt basic sign language he is very old school so would prefer to write down with pen and paper. I would like to see all schools teaching sign language so people who are deaf can be included in society more and valued for the people they are and not segregated because they are deaf.
