>>>Frustrated  Blind Field  
>>>I receive many emails off the blog  site so no one knows their fear or frustration. Paras and teachers do not  know how to let the district and the families they are working with know how  frustrated they are with what is going on with blind children. They feel  hopeless and trapped and sad for the child. Not everyone, but a good  portion.
>>>
>>>I have paras who know their students are dependent on them 
    and that they do a bulk of the work, but they are waiting for direction from 
    the teacher of the blind (TVI). They fear for their jobs if the students 
    they are working with do not show a good grade..... they are waiting for 
    that help and direction.
>>>
>>>The teacher of the blind is overloaded with 
    a huge caseload that she can only see children a miniscule amount of time 
    each week, more to put out fires than really teach. Not to mention she has 
    no time to help the para and no time to gain further skills to help herself 
    and in turn help the student.
>>>
>>>We have districts with the directors, 
    that IF they know, they are trying to look for more personnel to hire but 
    cannot find qualified people. But many directors do not know. Many teachers 
    of the blind and paras suffer in silence over the condition and are not sure 
    where to turn.
>>>
>>>As a collective community of people that want to help 
    make a difference, we need to start really thinking outside the box...and 
    way outside. I see this condition getting worse in many areas, especially 
    now that I am communicating and teaching all over this county and in 
    different parts of the world. People are looking for 
    direction.
>>>
>>>Virtual teaching is a "think outside the box" area that is 
    blooming in its possibilities. If anyone is interested in a virtual lesson, 
    email me and I will get you going. I have been teaching this way for over a 
    1.5 years with great success. Teachers can access more students in one day 
    than if they are trying to drive to every school.
>>>
>>>Another aspect of 
    virtual instruction is if our community all gets on texting, chat, video 
    conferencing, everyone is always 1 second away from an answer or the help 
    they need. Get more information on virtual instruction at 
    blindgeteducated.blogspot.com or email me personally.
