[Colorado-talk] Article: The Blind Side

[Brent Batron]

This article turns my stomach.  As I prepare to go to CSDB this afternoon, I wonder how the students would react to this article.  This could be a story written about any blind school.  It demonstrates how people who think they are "helping" can do more harm than good.

this article didn't make me feel all warm and gooey inside.  It makes the kids sound dumb.  I agree with arielle I can find a bar just fine. 
Sometimes I have to say Pj lets find home.  lol!
Have a blessed day.
Best,

Some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go.

This is meant to be another inspirational piece, but I find it more
disquieting than heartwearming. Am I alone in this?
