[blindkid] Braille Question

[Debra Baxley]

That's what I stated; then, the question of Grade 3 Braille was asked; I
told them that was like shorthand would be for them.

I would simply tell them that it has no corralation to school grades.
In Braille, there is only grade one and grade two, there isn't a grade 10.
Grade one is uncontracted
Grade two is contracted
