Deaf-School


Note: This sign uses the same movement as the sign for "SCHOOL" but the handshape for each hand is an "I."  The letter "I" is associated with the concept of an "institution."  Deaf Schools used to be commonly thought of as "institutions" or places where deaf were "sent away to."
In the Deaf community Deaf Schools are traditionally considered a source of pride.
