It’s not necessarily more work to teach kids basic communication in both ASL and braille than some of the other things kids get taught in schools.
I can think of many benefits to society if the majority knows how to do both, so I’m genuinely curious why it never gained traction anywhere? Like, there are no countries on earth where the majority can communicate in sign language or read braille.

ASL is taught in schools, in fact I’m supposed to be doing my asl homework right now. Many people have deaf family members, or lose their hearing as they age. There are plenty of deaf people if you know where to look, and for the most part they are all very friendly. I can’t speak for everyone but I definitely have gotten some use out of the language. It’s would recommend taking asl if you have a hard of hearing family member, or want to try something different. Rudimentary knowledge of asl may be an asset for getting hired, although the use most people will get out of it will be limited.
Edit: it’s cool being able to talk in class and have only other asl students know what your saying.
