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.

Speaking of taking other foreign language classes while at the Deaf school...my brother took basic Spanish at the nearby public high school (magnet program) and he said that he could understand Spanish better than English cuz the syntax of ASL resembles to Spanish.
I am not fluent in even the basics of Spanish but a lot of deaf people have told me that about ASL and Spanish. I thought it was interesting...
