The come back of ASL
Founded 1817
ASL is the best
After the school opened it was said that plenty of deaf schools opened in the US. And most graduates took their learning to ASL to become teachers and for job opportunities.
Alexander Graham Bell wanted kids to learn in speech training rather than ASL so they discouraged schools to teach ASL and soon banned it and punished hem by tying their hands behind their backs. And forced ASL to live in the shadows.
ASL soon came back with researches and some sort of understanding that ASL isn´t bad at all and people can benefit from it.
