Re: Schools for the blind, training centers, and how they perform.
Interesting points, Dark.
But am I understanding you correctly that the training centers that do exist are not as extensive as they are here? In other words, am I right in thinking that people don't spend months in an apartment or dorm complex, being taught all manner of skills that are supposed to help them become independent?
And is there a divide, as there is here, where the NFB preaches one philosophy, but then there are state-run centers, who are usually grossly underfunded, or the staff don't have a very high opinion of blind people anyway, so the actual skills they learn don't end up transferring well outside of the center?
Of course, there are good and bad centers. I personally am not a fan of NFB philosophy for many reasons, but that wasn't where I was going in creating this post. I'm trying to understand attitudes towards independence in general here.
