Dear friends, this is very interesting discussion on th method of answering in CBSE board. initially, I support this move, but in long run it would harm rather than helping people with blindness. as many persons have discussed that if somebody is speaking slow, some on having different kind of pronunciation and so on and s forth. even, this move revolutiohnized people with blindness to be good speaker rather than be good writer. good speaker is not bad thing, but in long run it will destroy our capacity to write. for in my case, I can dictate better rather than writing. similarly in cighted people they can writer better rather than dictating. therefore, we the people with blind should support to develop the writing tendency. secondly, the writing devices like laptop, tab and eetc are easily available to most of the students. if it is not available than out educational institutes should work for the availability of devices, because it will not take only exam but it will empower them for ever. thirdly, the self writing facilitate us to express our actual wil rather than dicating thing. some thing, we are so afraid about the writer thing or what he will think. fourthly, the idea of recording may be radical move in the view of CBSE, but it will change mode of evaluation. some blind students would get marks, because of ghis or her voice but some would get low marks, because eof his her voice. fifthly, because of dictation and recording the spelling study would become too weak. even, some time, people with blindness are not able to differentiate between week and weak, because of they are prone ot speak than writing. if they provide braille writing instrument, that is qualify for welcome, because it gives ground level reality and maximum use of capacity. here writing speed does matter but braille as mode of exam must available along with other any method. thanks On 1/12/16, Asudani, Rajesh <rajeshasud...@rbi.org.in> wrote: > Times of India: > > Blind students can 'record' board exam answers on tape recorder > Abhishek Choudhari > | TNN | Jan 9, 2016, 04.24 PM IST > NAGPUR: Don't be surprised if during this summer's state board exam a > candidate asks the invigilator for additional 'cassette' instead of > additional supplement. > Students suffering from visual impairment (partial/full) can now record > their answers on tape recorder rather than taking help of a writer.
