higher literacy rates in english in what area? compared to what/who? where are the studies that say this? then again, i'm afraid it might be biased.
i say this because literally all deaf kids with deaf parents i've met plainly sucked in english. maybe i have a high standard of expectations when it comes to english or maybe you're working with a different definition of "high literacy rate".
if daily observation contradicts a study (or studies), then something is wrong here.
