[nabs-l] Schools for the Blind vs. Public School Education

[Serena]

I went to a public school and am really glad I did!  I didn't get a choice 
about it cuz, in NJ, there isn't a legitimit school for the blind.  (There's 
actually a religiously affiliated school that's for kids with multiple 
disabilities, although the school authorities would never say that.  They're 
a bunch of lyers!)I was involved in concert band and the pep band in high 
school and made 2 great long-lasting friends!  I don't think I would've 
changed anything.
