Add learning sign language to school curriculum instead of French Spanish etc.
I and multiple of my peers want sign language added to he school curriculum. This would mean implementing one or two sign language lessons a week to teach students how to communicate with the deaf. I am familiar with deaf people but unable to communicate any way other than text.
This is because sign language would be of more use to us instead of French, Spanish, German etc or to replace one lesson a week with learning it. Making this mandatory could change lives and mean deaf children or adults won't need a specialist or escort as its a norm that everyone or almost everyone is familiar with sign language.
