As a teenager in training, it was quite common for me to be given independent travel routes and told to use the skill sets I had learned, coupled with common sense, to exercise judgment and behave accordingly. Sadly, however, for many students, blind and sighted alike, this is no more. And, while I is detrimental for all kids, this is particularly so for blind students—for whom expectations are already horrendously low.
