I did not attend a school for the blind, but I know many who did. When I was young, I had really strong negative opinions of those schools, and felt that my public school education served me better. Now that I am older, and life has had it’s twists and turns, I feel differently. I can see the value in a school for the blind even though the academia may not always have been the best. There are some social things that a public school attendee misses out on by not going to a school for the blind. I don’t know if I’d be able to join the presentation unless it is held in the evening, but it is a great topic. I could go on and on, Oh, I have.
