Aubrie, who is in middle school, says that she would be happy to email the 
principal and say that she has played on playground equipment all her life 
and is still alive and never broke a bone.
Perhaps if all our blind children wrote the principal it would make a 
difference. If their insurance wouldn't cover all the children who attend 
the school, it is por. Aside from that, your child is no more likely to get 
hurt than any of the others.
