I live in Oregon. Our Deaf school has an open ASL class one night a week when they can. It is not always easy for people to attend and there is a cost. But it would be cool to try a club or something of that sort. I guess I took it for granted that little kids would learn basic sign fairly easily as a beginning, just like parents can teach baby sign. I was not thinking of an informal teacher for the older age groups when the vocabulary and grammar, syntax etc are more complicated. I was just wishing that all little kids could have the advantage of, or at least the taste of ASL. My mistake. I will look into the extracuricullar activities in our schools. I do know that my son's high school does not have any free type clubs for fellowshipping etc. I guess it was stupid idea. So, thanks for the input. I can quit worrying about it now.
