For instance, in many schools today, someone with my amount of sight would be "forced" to learn print (if any of the articles I've read are any measure) but even though I'm not particularly crazy about the school I went to, I'm still glad that I learned braille as my major way of communicating. However, I do wish that maybe I could have learned print in school as well. As it is, I'm pretty much self taught when it comes to reading print.
