Hi Willie: I certainly that there are unresolved questions especially
regarding the partially sighted and braille. I can remember a time
when one of the schools I attended forced all sighted kids there to
learn braille. This caused a mixed bag when it came to reading. Those
forced to learn braille were, in most instances poor readers in both
mediums. There were exceptions of course but generally that was the
case. Then, too, there are those partials who absolutely rebell and
refuse to learn braille even when it is forced upon them. Should we
fail them accademically simply because they refused to learn braille?
I don't think so. Its an interesting subject though, and I'm sure
there are countless other opinions out there. Isn't it interesting
how each of us in our own way approach each subject from our own
experiential base.
