Ah Harold,
You touched on the one possible benefit of sequestering the blind into
their own school they all helped each other. I would rather see our
educational systems teaching our kids to do this in the mainstream
regardless of the needs of one versus the other. This would set the stage
for adults that were more caring about the needs of one another and less
selfish and self-centered. Maybe I need to hit my head and wakeup, but
that's what God would have us do I am sure. He did say whatever you failed
to do for the least of these you failed to do for me! When he addressed
those judged deficient in Revelation in the second coming. Now as before
losing sight, if we are out to dinner and get approached by someone claiming
to be hungry we take offer to accompany them to an eatery and buy a meal,
never hand out money, too many drunks and drug addicts for that. I am
however, convinced that if the less fortunate were universally in the
regular classes and the regular students, whoever they might be, were forced
to show care and concern and help these students our world would be a better
place. Ah but that will never happen, we're too bleedin busy making sure we
don't present alternative lifestyles in a negative manner to insist that
those who have no choice in where they are be assisted by those blessed with
full capabilities.
In His Love and Service,
David L. Bailey

Subject: [guide.chat] Loss of sight
Hello all
I can't really imagine what it would be like to not have seen at all
Two not know colours
All not to have seen the sun rise over the green fields and trees
I started to lose my sight when I was nine years old
similar to Carol it was my retinas
I was taken to the hospital to see the eye specialist
all decided that I should have an operation
in those days there was no visiting on children wards
needless to say I was in hospital for 13 weeks
not having one visitor
I will laid flat on my back for most of the time
when I eventually got up I had to learn to walk again
I had an operation for the next two years
Then I was registered blind
so then I had to go to the school for the blind in York
being used to open spaces
it was like going into a jail
the King's Manor where the school was dated back to Henry VIII time
all enclosed
so Claire
I had education in a site at school also a school for the blind
The better of the two education is was the sighted school
but the school for the blind
everyone looked after each other
I will finish for now
or I shall get to be a bore
Best wishes regards Harold
