Hi
No Christine, you certainly do not have a problem. I'm sure that many =
of us want a better life for our young. While protecting them from the =
cruel hard world.
Over the years, that occurred behind closed doors is now broadcast and =
called entertainment. I wonder most of the time whether it's right or =
wrong but it's the way it is today.
Take care now.

Hi, well, yes your quite right of Course, Sorry, I just feel as a VI we =
have
spent most of our lives having to prove "We are equal to our sighted =
piers"
and maybe as a mum of 4 it could be I feel that more. Having both 2
youngsters with and 2 without an eye condition going through schools =
with
discrimination problems, the youngest (of 13 years old) being Home =
educated
due to teacher bullying.
I just feel the World is always looking out for the Bad and Sad points =
in VI
folks when they should be realizing we are Perfectly Normal, only =
without
vision.
I just Feel Sorry for these youngsters with all the problems and =
challenges
they have to face in their future lives and feel showing the public the
"Better side" of our disability is far better than what was filmed for =
the
TV show. Maybe its Me who has a problem? I would be quite prepared to
accept that!

christine, although I didn't see the program I spoke to a number of =
people
who did both blind and sighted. saying it was full of bad manners and =
foul
language is probably a bit on the prudish side. the program is of =
course
done largely for entertainment and seeing a load of 17 year olds =

is not, to be fair, particularly interesting TV. more time could be =
spent
perhaps looking at some of the technology students use as well as the
forward thinking inovations that teachers of subjects such as science =
need
to make in order to teach the students. Such programs however may be =

I agree with you here Carol, My I think the programm was done for
entertainment and through the eyes of a tipical media reporter. Nothing
"Good" was promoted in the programm, fowl language, bad maners. Guess
Hannah wasn't in the programm as she's a different type of person, one =
who
wants to Achieve and Get on in life, Not quite how the media want to =
present
a VI person.

Hi Chris,
OK, we heard the documentary here, though there was no sight in the =
house to
confirm anything. There was the naration but, for some reason or other, =
we
didn't get the audio description on Cable. Anyway, after a while we
switched to digi-TV and got the audio which did improve things a little.
My honest view is that Channel 4 made a very poor programme, wasting a =
lot
of time and not getting sufficient background about courses and =
information
through to the public. As I wrote last night, I object greatly to that
phrase "Young blind things", as though they're a piece of rubbish! I =
know
it may be an expression that's very much "in" now, but I found it very
demeaning indeed to think of such folk in this way.
There were extra students around from time to time but of course I have =
no
knowledge as to whether one of them was Hannah. She was not mentioned =
by
name, so far as I can recall. Salina and Stacy were the prominent =
girls.
On a good note, I was pleased (and slightly amused) to discover that =
they at
least still use the word "Totals" at RNC. That sure took me back! =
(They
didn't mention "The dims and visions" though. Perhaps, in some ways, =
that's
as bad as the word "things", but we chose to call ourselves by those =
names
and that was the difference!
Well, forgive my rambles, Mr. Moderator. I'll get off the computer and =
come
back ready to keep good conduct tomorrow, promise!
