[Nfbf-l] NFB Training center

[Bill Outman]

Sure, choice is good.  The choice of an NFB center would be a good one to
have, but it need not be the case that this would be the only way to get
quality training.  

Given the private funding you mention for our centers,it would be a
Herculean though not impossible task to have more than the present number of
NFB centers, thus my thought that we should work on raising standards in all
agencies which serve the blind as well as giving individual support to each
other where possible.  

The task is just too great for one organization no matter how well
intentioned or financially endowed to shoulder the burden alone.

I'd have to disagree with you on that point. I think its also about choice. 
Mississippi has two options for their consummers. The triditional center, or

the other center witch teaches using structured discorvery thory. The NFB 
centers are privietly funded from what I understand. It would be something 
worth looking into in my personal opinion. If it works out it works out. If 
it doesn't it doesn't. You'll never know if you don't at least explor the 
possibleity. I personally think that having an NFB training center here in 
Florida, as I said, DBS clients would have a bit more choice, and placing 
the center in a large city in say Maimia or Tallahassee, would give students

the chance to practice their cane skills, and would also give them an 
opertunity to learnbus and amtrack travel. Plus, you wouldn't have DBS 
trying to screw arround with the policys! RJ
