Re: Schools for the blind, training centers, and how they perform.
@TurtlePower
Regarding to your conclusion, well, we lose because the blind kids who start to attend a specialist school are unaware of where are they going, and their mind can be easily changed. Also, the associations which stand for blind people recommend to the kid’s parent to send him/her to a specialist school. I lost my site when I was just one and a half year due to a terrible accident, and when the doctors confirmed that my site was lost without an actual opportunity to be turned back, they told my parents to go to the national association where I would gain the status of a blind person so as to get those money which our governments give for us for a certain disability. Then I would be automatically registered as a blind person and my local association of the city would help me in any case. So when I was six years old, they called my father to discuss about my future school. Normally their choice was to enroll me at a specialist school. According to them this was the only school that I could attend. They went even forward, by telling my father to convince me that the school where I would go is very good, a great place where I would really have fun, and I’d be able to make a lot of good friends. Well, they kept telling me that next year I was going to school, it’s a good place for you, you’ll feel happy, you’ll learn many things, you will make a lot of friends and other stuff. So I really was looking forward to the day to going to the school and seeing how it would be. Well, as far as I remember, I imagined everyday how my school would be and how my friends would be like. I really couldn’t wait to go there because I was made to believe all those lies which were told by my parents but not all of those things I was told were true.
So this is how it works. The associations or any other institution persuade both parents and kids that is better for them to attend a specialist school.
