Closed Stop forcing English Standard on Young Deaf children

Closed on

Make English more accessible for Deaf People (e.g. for us not to be forced to achieve English at C grade standard) each classes should have specialist tutor (e.g. Teacher of Deaf and being taught in small groups) Deaf people should not being stopped progressing from achieving a C grade or above

English is our second language, as we find English so hard to understand! which is why we use Sign Language which has a different structure and no written language. We need to stop feeling like we are being forced to learn English at C grade Standard and it is important that we taught English in a way that is accessible to us.
