AW: [sw-l] using original abbrevs

[Ingvild Roald]

Do not agree - usually. Though in the regular schools now, her ein Norway, 
they have all sorts of kids with alls sorts of difficulties, and not enough 
manpower or time to give attention to each one as they deserve. With normal, 
bright, slow, dyslectic, asmathic,imigrant, ADHD, CP, HoH etc. all in the 
same class, ordinary teachers do have a harder time with 20 - 30 children 
that a teacher of similar diverse deaf children with 3-10 kids
