[blparent] parents rights

[Veronica Smith]

I have a sighted spouse and still I asked the teachers to send me all
newsletters via email.  A lot of times the school will have a website and
most, if not all info is placed there. V

As many of you know, I teach a parenting series for Hadley and have two 
adult sons. I had a call yesterday from a blind mom who is just beginning 
this school thing as one of her children is in kindergarten. She complained 
that the school is not accommodating her by giving her newsletters and other

information in an email or otherwise accessible format. I wanted to say 
"welcome to the club" but kindergarten for my youngest was 20 years ago. I 
know schools and parents vary. Some people can deal with not having 
everything available to them; they have a sighted spouse or friend to read, 
keep up with little ones' homework, etc. I'd apreciate any thoughts as 
though I can't keep up with everything, I don't want to sit back and think 
things are the same though they may be.
Thanks.
Sharon
