<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><BR></FONT><A aria-haspopup=true

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>

sure the kids are having a great time. No one is disputing that. However, there
weren't happy sounds that day at the pool when those high schoolers were told to
hold the rope. When the students asked why, they were told it was because "we"
(the staff) "said so." Not a team building activity that they are now claiming
it was.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

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

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

time.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

sighted kids /do/ have to hold on to a rope I know of parents that have done
this and just within the last two weeks have seen a daycare run by a church that
does this. So yes they do, do this for sighted kids, maybe not older kids but

might.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

no one who has posted was there, so we don't know all the facts. What would be
good is if the other students on the outing would tell what went on but doubt
they will. However, as goes for anything in any situation until you're in that
situation or have a child in that situation you have no real reason to complain.
You do have the right to inquire if it went on however, other than that you
still don't have the right to complain or if it wasn't exactly like that,
compliment, either.</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 rhetoric, and does not demonstrate a desire to discover
what really happened and if need be seek a resolution to the
problem.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

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>

wouldn't want to be led by a rope if I was a high school student or a elementary
student. It doesn't matter the age at all, the point is KSB made a decision that
affects all of us. I will not put my kid if VI/blind at KSB if they had to hold
on to ropes, what about sighted guide or letting the teachers help them, that's
their job as teacher's is to be responsible for their students not put that
responsibility on to a rope and do a half ass
job.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT><SPAN

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.

rope. These things are never black and white. Respect for teachers is important

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

it meant getting to do an activity or not and for whatever reason there was not

taught, yes it can be taught, but if the student on their own time chooses to

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 doing when you take a blind person's cane away, you are
taking their eyes.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
