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.

We learned a bit of ASL when i was in school. After a decade or so of never using it, i can’t even sign the alphabet anymore.
And that’s why it’s not taught outside of an elective class. Most people will never need or use it.
There are many more practical classes that should be taught before a language most people simply won’t have ax use for.
