Actually, ismi is right about this. BI-BI means "bilingual-bicultural", and while it is usually used in the US to refer to ASL and English ("bilingual") and deaf and hearing (bicultural), it can be used for any kind of bilingual and bicultural education. (But bi-bi is most commonly expanded when referring to the other combinations here.)

They are completely deaf and have their rights to be with us in Deaf Community or Deaf schools. I have seen some other deaf languages people that comes from and go to Deaf school that we could help him to learn English with Signed English that combines BI BI langauges. And you expect him to speak spoken language which is outrageous from the start.

Forcing deaf kids to make sounds they can't hear is ridiculous. I agree.

I would love to learn their language and share it. Thats what the Deaf communtiy is all about.

Good that you're proud of who you are. I like it when people are proud of their differences.
And agreed that hearing people need education about this. We are raised to believe that everybody wants to hear, but then are shocked to find out that there is a culture around deafness....
