style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">If it was up to you to teach
legally blind children, would you insist that they use their remaining
vision as much as possible, even if it meant that they were functionally
illiterate and one day they would walk in front of a truck with their young
child? Or, would you want to give them the tools and awareness to become
successful adults who could function independently and safely? The answer
may seem obvious, but thousands of <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE
w:st="on">America</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>'s blind kids are being
forced to settle for a substandard education, leading to lives of dependence
with little chance for employment and unnecessary danger. Jody Ianuzzi is a
Major in the Civil Air Patrol and a <ST1:CITY w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE
w:st="on">marshall</ST1:PLACE></ST1:CITY> arts instructor. Along with her
friend Debbby Bracket, who holds a master's in early childhood education,
she is changing what it means to be blind. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></P><BR><BR><PRE class=moz-signature cols="72"> </PRE><PRE class=moz-signature cols="72"><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated title=http://www.padnfb.org/ href="http://www.padnfb.org "></FONT><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </PRE></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT>
