I'm afraid that in most instances, parents of blind kids are being hoodwinked into believing that by sending their kids to public schools, somehow that will make them normal. I seriously doubt that, and suspect you will agree. Congratulations on working for the electronic library. Thats super. Hope to hear from you again, and thanks for your comments. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!377!6!Stew.Bowden Internet: Stew.Bowden@f6.n377.z1.fidonet.org
