Well, when you're talking about deaf teachers, then there IS a discrepancy!
"Normal" kids for us deafies, are OTHER deaf kids! <grin>  Hearing kids then
become "special" kids cuz then some of us would need interpreters and such.
I do lipread fairly well, but I cannot lipread all children, and certainly
NOT everything they say...

Ohvell, we'll see what happens...
