[il-talk] Braille Monitor Story.

Hi Linda,

Not only did kids make fun of because of the  thick glasses, but also because of the large print books that were giant sized.  Like you say, it's a good thing those experiences are a distant memory (smile).

P.S.

I'm glad you read my story.

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!
