[nobe-l] resume question

[Jewel S.]

Why must they have a notetaker available? I can do more with my laptop
than a notetaker can, plus I can add on a wifi keyboard or Bluetooth
Braille display if desired.
I say a requirement should be not just good O&M, but the ability to
map out the school in your head and find any classroom with ease.
Otherwise I agree with this list :P
What about a strong handle on Braille? And the ability to get to
school on your own in case your ride falls through?
