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".

Your observations are not sufficient to contradict that which has been supported consistently over any number of years and with any number of participants.
