That would had been nice. It was only for our benefit to get a better education. The hearing students weren't enrolled in any of our programs, probably due to the fact that our school is intended for deaf and hard of hearing students. Though they did have one program where hearing students could enroll in and that was the ASL class. Quite a number of the students enrolled in the program are now professional interpreters.
If we had fully integrated the Bi-Bi program in both schools, I could see it making a difference since they are already required to take French classes while we weren't. It would had been nice if I was able to take French classes. Oh well.
