Jorge,
No you didn't see me at the NFB confrence 2 days ago. I've already tried all
the suggestions that you put in your reply. When I try that I get no where.
I've been in contact with my state treasure of the federation to see about
scheduling a meeting. Would that be a good idea?
Thank you for any other advice.
Koby.

Hi Koby!
Welcome to the list.
What I'd do is try to talk to my vision teachers.
If not, talk to your teachers and see if they can email you the papers
directly.
I've been doing this since 8th grade, and it works for all subjects except
math.

If not, talk to your parents and tell them to talk to the school.

You have a right to get your materials on time, and you have to fight for
it.

I suggest you check the other 2 options first though, and see if you can
bypass your vision teacher first.

(I do direct contact with all my teachers except math, because I need to
have it in Braille so I can read the number systems properly)

Jorge


P.S., DId I see you at the NFB conference 2 days ago?
