Hi Roanna
     Thanks for sharing.  I live in Wisconsin and taught English 
as a second language to adults in an ESL school in Madison, 
Wisconsin until last year.  I currently do some tutoring work in 
the same field.  I have been weathering the pandemic at home and 
tutoring by phone and email.  I grew up in Iowa, and when I was 
five, my parents thought about sending me to the school for the 
blind in Vinton, Iowa, but they decided to send me to a public 
school in our area and try out mainstreaming.  I think there are 
advantages to both going to a school for the blind and to 
mainstreaming.  My experience was mostly positive.  What was your 
experience like?
