<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I was sad when I first heard about the "rope" issue but between this conversation and being attacked because I "liked" a post that NFBK made on Facebook about the issue, I'm starting
to getting pretty angry. It's seriously upsetting to think that people that are associated with the school either through work or attending there themselves are okay with what happened.

<div><span class="userContent"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">This last Tuesday Kentucky School for the Blind staff members were taking a group of high school students from their summer program to swim at the Jewish Community Center. The students
were told that they had to all hold on to a rope so that no one would get separated from the group. One brave student refused so the staff had everyone get back on the bus and swimming was cancelled. On the previous day, a middle school student had wandered
from the group. That was the justification for humiliating the high school students. To me, this is simply appalling! Bad choices were made and these kids were humiliated. If the kids don't have enough mobility skills or there isn't enough staff to handle
the situation, they should not have taken this trip. High school can be a difficult time for kids. And blind kids can sometimes have a difficult time fitting in. To treat them like animals is just inexcusable to me. If you share my concern, please contact
KSB and let them know. <br>

have to say while this may not appear to be what should have been done. Until we know for sure if any of the students involved didn't have some condition that would make them wander at times then we should not be complaining and I'm sure because of HIPAA and
such we can never know such things. Also it's a very short term program where all the students involved may not be known by all the staff/faculty involved as well as others.</span></span></span></font></font></span></div>

may not be a good team building eperience but yes /students/ should always do what staff tell them If after it's done it's proven the staff were wrong to have done that, then things get done about it. Students especially any under 18 have no right to refuse.

think KSB is a great place and school. After hearing this, it makes me feel sorry for those kids. I'm completely blind and user of hearing aids, and ain't no way I would have hheld on to a rope, I'm not a pet.. Age is not a factor here, being treated like
a normal individual is though, and I am proud of everyone who is standing strong in this issue.</span></span></span></font></font></div>

kids don't have to hold a rope, I called John Roberts and he had nothing to say. Ashley Erwin I believe ur not looking at the big picture. Put yourself in the kids situation. I wouldn't do anything like hanging on to a rope if in was a kid their. It doesn't
matter if they are short course or not they are still kids and needed to be treated as such not animals. I am very disappointed in Ksb for doing this. I'm glad a graduated when I did.</span></span></span></font></font></div>

yes sighted kids do hold a rope in some schools on outings I have seen it and it is for safety to keep the group together. I dont need to be bashed for my comment. I did not, I repeat not say it was okay or not okay just making the point that even sighted
children hold a rope from time to time.</span></span></span></font></font></div>

see your point however Ksb saying that it was an exercise is wrong. Therefore it makes me believe that this did happen and they are trying to cover it up. I still hold to my opinions a rope is not necessary at all. Blind peop,e are not animals or just .</span></span></span></font></font></div>

sure what the statement about being treated like animals means. I can't think of any animals (except for some in a circus that are highly trained) that could be expected to hold on to a rope when instructed to do so. That statement is, quite frankly, inflammatory

clarify, The issue was brought to my attention from events that happened to high school students on Tuesday. I then learned that it had been happening to elementary students for the passed two weeks. I entered KSB at age 5. We didn't needs ropes then and we
don't need them now. I truly appreciate your input and that of all those who are commenting. I believe I am on the correct side of this issue. But it is a great opportunity for everyone to share their thoughts.</span></span></span></font></font></div>

don't think we're trying to bash each other. I have lots of great memories at KSB so would never want to make them feel embarrassed etc. Just was surprised when I heard this. Maybe this isn't a huge idea, I just think communication is very important. If we're
going to bring up this issue here are some questions. Who told you this happened? What exactly happened? I may be a little behind here, but were they using the rope while walking? or swimming? If it's walking, then my opinion would be to use our canes and
have sighted guides, just as is taught in mobility. Everyone has their own opinions so that's okay. Just still confused on how the rope was actually used. LOL</span></span></span></font></font></div>

to guide you? I would hope that you would find the situation unacceptable. If it's unacceptable for us, then what makes it okay for it to happen to children? KSB for as long as I've been alive has kids that had other handicaps beyond being blind that had to
be addressed, but they were never disrespected publicly in this manner. As for this happening in actual high schools, I personally attended 5 public high schools and this never even came close to happening, parents wouldn't have allowed it to happen, and kids
wouldn't have gone along with it, period. If it is happening at some random school somewhere, then it's wrong there too.</span></span></span></span></span></font></font></div>

agree with you Katie. I use crutches for that sometimes, and if the student has bad mobility, then it falls on their teacher. You have to teach the student mobility skills, I'm pretty sure a daycare situation is not the same as a high school group. Makes me

then that's not the mobility teacher's responsibility. Students /will/ llie about doing things after being released just to get released I didn't but I know of a situation myself when I was in mobility I was told to get on a bus and get off at a certain street.
Yes said teacher was behind in a car or on same bus watching or something but if I remember correctly I wasn't to inform the driver and was to do it myself. Needless to say I ended up getting off at breckingridge, instead of Canon.</span></span></span></span></span></font></font></div>

I completely agree with you. That's why when I said we're talking about a high school group, I think the person bringing up the daycare thing, that doesn't have much to do with blind students needing to use their canes. So walking with a rope is putting mobility
in to good practice?</span></span></span></font></font></div>

also Katie to answer your question because I take my cane everywhere.. If I were denyed that and all I could use was a rope? I'd walk away even if it meant not knowing where I'mgoing.. I'd feel like someone just took my eyes right out of me. That's what you're
