[blparent] some small points of correction about the Hadleyschool

[Tay Laurie]

Ithink what she might mean is that they aren't accessible college as in they 
don't offer standard college courses. I need to get an eye report from my 
doc, then I'll be happy to enroll in the courses. I think the parenting 
course would benefit me greatly. Too bad they don't offer anything online, 
as I tend to do better with jaws than braille.
