Bilingual people, when you were/if you are in school, did/do you ever talk to someone who speaks your language in that language so that the teachers won’t understand? (lemmy.ca)

I knew two girls who learned sign language just to gossip during class

I’ve seen girls in high school do that

A good number of years ago, I took a community college sign language class with a coworker so we could chat during meetings. It was fun, and more so because some of the others in the class were medical staff at a regional youth detention facility of some sort who specifically wanted to learn some of the “spicier” words so they could know what was being said to/about them by deaf teens and understand descriptions of physical needs. Definitely vocabulary not in the usual intro curriculum.
