[il-talk] Braille Monitor Story.

[Linda Hendle]

Well, the other didn't make fun of the large print books, cause they were 
only used in the Sight saving room.  I'm just talking about Grammar School. 
The normally sighted were in the regular(persay) rooms, that we went with 
those kids for Gym, Science, Social studies etc.

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!
