When I was cane traveling in High School, I wasn't dismissed from classes
five minutes early in order to find my next class.

My son's O&M instructor has told him that next year in junior high he will
be dismissed from classes 5 minutes early in order to get a head start into
the halls to make it to his next class. I'm wondering if most of the blind
kids out there get this "accommodation."  I personally think it is an
opportunity to miss some afterthought the teacher has and to be singled out
and isolated in the classroom. Walking to classes with friends is one of the
few times kids have for private conversations.  Would you share your
experiences with this?
