[Blindtlk] a question about getting lost

[Gary Wunder]

Your teacher is wrong. Getting lost is just a detour to where you are going.
Getting lost is always pictured in children's literature as being lost in
the jungle and in danger of being eaten by tigers.  All it is a learning
experience, a warning to pay good attention and not regard mobility as
passive.

Warmly,

Gary

Subject: [Blindtlk] a question about getting lost

Hi,
I am doing a pretty good job navigating my high-school campus.  I 
hardly ever get lost, but I used to more often when I began.
I had a question: is it a big deal when you get lost, but find 
your way COMPLETELY on your own?
I'm emphasizing this because my aide used to always get mad at me 
when I got lost, even if I found my way using my skills.  One 
time he got upset because I was checking a room number on a door, 
but I needed to know what the room number was in order to get 
where I was going.  He treats getting lost and finding my own way 
just as badly as getting lost and needing lots of help.  Is this 
right?
