As far as in the education environment goes, here is my take:

I see SEE useful as a teaching tool when teaching reading and writing but for learning new concepts, ASL is the language to use.

I use between ASL and PSE..I couldnt sign SEE in a conversation even if I tried. I only use it when modeling English to my students. I explain to my students that what I am about to sign is SEE so they will be aware of the differences. So far, it is working.

For those students who have a poor language foundation, they wouldnt be able to have any use for SEE so they need ASL to build their language foundation first.
