One don't have to be fluent to get the gist. And I don't know ASL none, period.

Okay, now I get it. Thanks.

I would say it depends on situation. If you implanted your child early with CI, your priority is to achieve the best results from implanting because time matters very very much with learning to hear and speak.
There will always be time to join deaf community and learn ASL.

Those parents who does not implant their children but keep a deaf child from the deaf community and ASL - they should include that for the child as early as possible.
