have you ever met a hearing person who has a very poor capacity of English? Can you tell me what's wrong with that person? Nothing-- just a conclusion of poor education.
Yes, the problem isn't that dhh students are dumb at English. They simply approach English as a SECOND language, rather then a first one. Look at a forum where there are folks who use English as a second language. The syntax and grammartical errors are the SAME! I've met folks who utilize ESL who make deafies' command of English look like grand high literature!
