>Hi, I learned a long time ago not to take everything everyone 
says to seriously especially putting theese things ahead of 
common sense.  This includes guide dogs and schools.  If every 
comment is negative I wonder what someone is really afraid of and 
if everything is completely positive with absolutely no thought 
to anything that might not be exactly to your liking are you 
being honest about the situation place or school because either 
can help you set yourself up for disapointment.  Just my 
thoughts.
