[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is only in Level 2, but the higher level kids develop enough skills to interpret at assemblies and school plays, so I think it is rigorous enough. ASL grammar is idiosyncratic, but there are no declensions and past/future tense are somewhat simpler than spoken English or another WL, so the kids can go further faster. [/quote] Are you saying that "higher level" ASL high school students are interpreting assemblies and plays for practice? Or are they interpreting for actual Deaf/hard of hearing people? I'm an interpreter and interpreting drama is one of the hardest interpreting skills, and it would be unethical for the county to have ASL students providing "access" for actual Deaf/hard of hearing people.
