ASL should be taught in high school or offered as an elective.

i am deaf myself and 2 of my children one deaf and one hard of hearing so I know how valuable it would be if it was taught in high school. It would even better if it was taught in elementary schools as well!

i grew up not knowing ASL till after I was out of high school. I feel it is important to know ASL so people can communicate with deaf individuals. Such as the police department, hospitals, government & ect...

I know that if this had been an option in high school I would have had welcomed learning sooner. There is such a need to have more sign language interpreters and an understanding of Deaf culture. This would be a great opportunity for those in high school to enrich their lives by helping to facilitate communication.

I wish my school would have taught ASL as a foreign language! ASL is not replacing anything, just adding another very useful language to the list of options. I hope other schools consider doing the same thing. :-)

Offering sign language at the high school level is an excellent idea.

It would be great for our children to be able to learn sign language in high school because jobs are more likely to hire and I know it's something that all kids would enjoy.

We need this more to communicate with our fellow Americans. Moreso than French or German!
