Amen! While, I'm not sure it would be any harder to learn, but if it is adopted, and children start learning it exclusively, then everything published up to that point becomes obsolete. I hope it is treated like Grade 3, it is there for those who wish to use it, but not forced upon everyone.
Just my opinion, and remember, it is worth every cent you paid for it, grin.

I sent an email to Judy Dixon, president of BANA, and she said UEB hadn't been adopted yet and that everybody would be able to vote on its adoption. I will oppose it to the end. UEB is an awful code very difficult to learn and I refuse to unlearn everything I know about reading and writing braille.
