[nagdu] Guide Dog Handler Bill of Rights

[Jordan Gallacher]

Let me remind all of you that you might be able to get one or two guide dog
schools to base themselves on NFB philosophy, but you cannot by any means
force a school to follow it.

And how would a guide dog school  based on NFB philosophy be different?
You would use the structured discovery method, a technique which no one has
ever defined for me thought I've been asking that question for years--smile.
Just yanking your chain a bit here, but tell me what you would envision?

Now, as far as the discussion of guide dogs and raising kids, I can't
comment at all since I fortunately don't have any kids--smile.
I do know competent people who have been good parents and used guide dogs
throughout the process and wish they'd comment, because frankly it mystifies
me.
What you have done successfully, though Rebecca, is remind me again why I
don't want kids--smile.
I like to enjoy other people's kids and then go home and not worry about the
rest of it. Please, God, spare me--smile.
But, all joking aside, I admire you and all the Moms and Dads out there and
I think whatever choice someone makes it has to be the right one for them.

For now, though, and I suspect for a very long time to come, I want the
responsibility of the guide dog and not the kid--smile.

Take care,

Dan W. and the Carter Nut
