Well, that's their choice and their rights cuz they have already completed their education. We are talking about children, are we? Yes, I have seen deaf adults drop ASL cuz they dont want to use it anymore and be immersed in the hearing world full time but at least they were provided the skills from the schools that they went to when they were kids to make that decision. They are on their own and capable of making their own decisions regarding their adult education or careers.
