sign language

students are creating/enhancing classes this year.
4 of them want to take sign language

not sure why kids can't take this for their foreign language credit...

Wikipedia estimates that, worldwide, 1 in 1000 people are deaf. (0.1%)

Considering the world population is 6.6 billion,
0.1% = 6.6 million
0.18% = 11.9 million
0.23% = 15.2 million
0.49% = 32.3 million
