All you need to know about Sign Language and Public School Education are found in these two novels - Deaf Beneath and Convergence Crush. * * * Hearing parents are eager to teach their hearing babies sign language because it promotes communication, reducing stress. However, when it comes to Hearing Parents and Deaf babies, almost no sign language is used because they may have one, maybe two cochlear implants, so 'they'll do.' Consequently, Hearing Parents intentionally deprive their Deaf child of the significance of social impact and language acquisition until they struggle in a hearing school (as depicted in 'Deaf Beneath'). Eventually, they have no choice but to enroll their Deaf child in a Residential Deaf School (as portrayed in 'Convergence Crush'). The end result is devastating. Why? The remedy to all these problems, as outlined in 'Deaf Beneath' and 'Convergence Crush,' can be achieved within two generations if society makes Sign Language a requirement.
