[nabs-l] Opinions on a TVI Issue

[justin williams]

So you think the TBI should just be sitting around doing nothing if you or a
blind student does not need help with blindness related  issues? Or help me
understand how this is supposed to work. The TBI is going above and beyond
the call of duty, something that in a professional setting, a boss would do
anything to have an employee do.  It has not been said as of yet that the
TBI is failing to perform the essential functions of the job.  Once again,
is she not performing her essential functions?

I would, but i find that this distracts from the TBI's real job.

wanna see everyone in a class succeed? I would think you would be glad to
see this?
