[nabs-l] lions world

Joshua,
I told Josh that on the other nabs list, the one belonging to ACB; I told
him to think through it, think about the rules and if he'd like to abide by 
such restrictions.  It didn't work.
Josh has already been to a nfb center; now he wants to get a certification; 
so perhaps he's willing to stay confined at LWSB to get that training.

Joshua, what program did you attend and did you go to another training 
center afterward?

But do they really have a lights out rule?  Do they really have a curphew 
where you got to be in your room?
I know they got dorms and roommates. They don't have apartments.  Someone 
told me from Nabs ACB list that the food was not too good; it was mostly 
fried food which is very unhealthy.
As to nurses, I can understand that if a blind person cannot identify their 
meds; I mean some newly blind people cannot read braille or print and cannot 
know what meds they have in what bottle!
But some blind people have the skills already to take their meds.
However, is this an individual thing?  Does everyone have to relinquish 
their meds, or just the ones who cannot take it independently yet?

On their website it says you have to agree to relocate after the program. 
That sounds terrible for the reasons you stated. If you don't have friends 
or family down in say Georga, then why move there?
Maybe so LWSB doesn't hear from you again.

In Little Rock, Arkansas? I attended there for 4 weeks. That is one of
those centers like the one Tara was talking about. They have "lights
out," "nurses controling meds," etc. I know, because I was there. They
thought that every blind person needed counseling. They called it
assertiveness training. The whole thing is a scam! They ship you off
to another state once you've graduated. Let's say, your home state is
Arkansas, (because that's mine.) You go through the IRS program, (for
example.) Once you've graduated, (since there are no jobs for you in
that field, they'll ship you to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, or
somewhere else, without your consent. I want to stay in Arkansas. All
of my family is here. You think I'm going to a state where I don't
know anyone from Adam? Nope! That's all LWSB is good for. Stay away!
Go to LCB, if you want that kind of training, but stay away from LWSB!
Blessings, Joshua
