[NAGDU] Graduate feedback

[albert.e.sten_clanton at verizon.net]

I don't know in general how well Seeing Eye listens to its graduates.  I've felt free to tell the folks what I think the few times I thought I should, but of course I can't tell whether anything I've said had an incremental affect on changes.  Also, to listen respectfully is of course not necessarily to agree, and I consider that the place may be more right than I am on a given topic, but I have had a couple of good conversations with instructors and a couple of others with senior staff.  I also don't know how many graduates share my views, especially as I seem to be somewhat quirky in my thinking on a variety of subjects, including, to a small degree, on guide dog work and school operation.

Elizabeth asked an interesting question in her previous message. Do the schools appreciate our feedback when we are out using our dogs. If our experiences make us think changes could be well received in training, do they listen to us? Do they ever incorporate them. Do you feel heard when talking to the school if it is not about your current dog? Elizabeth, you can address that because maybe I didn’t make it completely clearly according to what you were looking for.
