Hi ann: very interesting experiences you have had. I'm afraid you are
right. Unfortunately, many schools for the blind these days are
becomming dumping grounds for students which the public schools
choose notto handle. My own opinion is that pl94-142 has desimated
schools for the blind. Also, in my typical conser vative fashion, I
honestly believe that today, we are creating a generation of wellfare
blind people. The public schools simply do not have the resources to
meet the needs of blind students, and athletically in the public
schools, if you are blind, forget it. Its just not available. I was
an intercollegeate wrestler and state champion several years. Couldnt
have done that in public school. Lets continue this. Enjoyed hearing
from you.
