[Blindmath] I'm Dying Here

[Wilson_KC via Blindmath]

I'm curious, Elise, how much help did you have from a VI or Braillist/Aide in math when you were in High School?  I feel like our HS kids get a lot of individualized help, but I worry that they'll be in your shoes when they get to college.  They get help because, as you pointed out, the classroom teachers don't articulate very well, and they go too fast even when you point out to them that they have a blind student in their midst.  Articulating well would help many of sighted students understand, too.  You may have to talk to your instructor more than once to get your point across.  Good luck.

I need a shoulder to cry on, everyone.  I am in my algebra class and I am
drowning.  We are finding the lcd of rational expressions and then making
the lcd equal between two expressions.  My instructor is talking so fast and
using "this guy" instead of calling out the numerals.  I want to give this
stuff up right now.  Thanks for listening.  Elise
