Brilliant: of course, Americans will have to understand that #BritishSignLanguage will include a lot more "u"'s. Seriously, as a lawyer I acted for various deaf folks and always regretted not learning basic, at least, sign language.

The Guardian · British Sign Language to be offered as GCSE subjectBy Alexandra Topping

While I'm always concerned about adding to the burden of #teachers, and of course there are issues of the resource(s) to support such provision, in the main I think the introduction of a GSCE in #BritishSignLanguage has to be seed as good news for diversity & inclusivity... how it works out in practice is altogether another matter (unfortunately)!

Make BSL a Core Subject in UK Schools
It is disheartening to see individuals like my sister struggle to communicate with others simply because they do not know what she is signing. This petition aims to address this issue and advocate for the inclusion of BSL as a core subject in all schools across the UK.

Are #introduction posts a thing on blahaj.zone?

I'm exploring the fediverse because my preferred flavour of Reddit died, so anyone who wants to show me how to find my
#NonBinary and #Anarchism memes will have my thanks.

I can't vote for it, but I'm hoping for an #IndependentScotland so I can get my #Scottish passport and rejoin the #EU.

I speak #English, and #BritishSignLanguage a little bit. Also dabbled in #Esperanto and #French.

And I've recently restored a +400 year old cottage using #TraditionalBuilding techniques and a lot of #LimePlaster.
