The sign language is in my country forbidden during the lessons. The teacher of the deaf say that if they had signed, the children couldn't learned lip-reading, and speaking. They think that sign languages are pidgins. They don't regard the facts that the sciences and arts demostates.

Many Hungarians live in other countries. In this countries Hungarian children they often couldn't speak Hungarian during the lessons. This is the same thing because the signed languages are languages as the spoken ones. Many deaf peoples Hungarian is poor, and can't study because the lacks of the learning materials. It would better if they could learn both in Hungarian Sign Language and Hungarian.
