[il-talk] Braille Monitor Story.

[denise avant]

Hi all
If you went to school in chicago in the 60s and 70s and could read print at all no matter how close to the book you had to get you were going get a magnifying glass but no braille
I did not learn braille until the summer of sophmore year of high schoollittle did i know it this was one of the best things that happened to me

> Hi all! I read one of the stories on Newsline, in the Braille Monitor titled “Braille or no Braille'”.  A couple of people mentioned that hey went to sight saving class, when they were in Grade school.  I also went to a Sight Saving class.  Was it in Chicago.  I think one of the people was Debbie P.  Interesting story.    They did not teach me braille then either.  But like you said, if you saw,, they let you read the large print.  I don’t think they even had any Braille at my school, or I mean class.  The sight Saving Class was the home room, and then I would go to other classes with the kids that saw normally.  The kids in the other weren’t always very nice either.  Got made fun of, cause of my very thick glasses.  Thank God that part is a distant memory.  Glad I finally did learn Braille!
