School signing strategy has me baffled

I'm currently doing BSL level 2 as my daughter is deaf. For the first time this week we had a lecture on the grammatical and syntax difference between BSL and English and SSE. As many of you will no doubt know, the word order is very different. And confusing. So I now have a suspicion why my daughter at 11 has an English reading age of 5. Why would you teach two contradictory methods at the same time? It just defies logic. So my daughter is being taught English, SSE and BSL. I have now asked a professor of sign linguistics, the NDCS, the local autjhority and various support groups. I have received nothing so fa rthat explains this. Anyone here got any ideas?

      Introducing myself

      Hi, introducing myself - my name is Sam, I'm very nearly 47 years old. I work with customers everyday and more and more am finding that we have hard of hearing or deaf customers who are coming into branch, who adapt brilliantly to our lack of skill of being unable to communicate with them. So I decided to challenge myself and my aging brain to learn something new and to learn BSL to try and make their experience in our branch a bit better.
