That's our time, none of students were skill in ASL in our classmate. They had very few students have deaf parents. I never see anyone had skill in ASL at Martin School. I do not know why deaf parents sent kid to Martin instead Pa School for the Deaf.
Yes, some kids tried to teach me how to fingerspelling. I refused to learn because that I was afraid that teacher catch us to use fingerspelling or gesture. They used wood stick hit my hands.
Went to MSSD. They changed my life. Sign language helped me understand everything better than oral. Sign Language gave me better education.
About 20 years ago, one person (former W&E Martin) asked me reunion at somewhere in Phila. I still refuse to attend Reunion because cost of my education.
