I'm not gonna lye, and I usually "never" do! I'm not helpless in
the kitchen, and I really really really want to know more, so
it's not like I'm denying learning or being difficult or
whatever, but I just haven't had much experience and things. Oh
well, guess that's what a woman is for. LOL JK. Cooking is fun
though, from what I have done. ----- Original Message -----

I learned cooking things at a summer school program that I used
to go to. Which was the bomb diggity, and I still have a ton of
memories from it. But anyway, it helped me out a little when STP
came around. But anyway, I learned basic things, such as being
safe around and with ovens, and other stuff.

I agree with you there, because it really does depend on what
your parents
are like, because when I went there for the week and had some
cooking class
or whatever. The teacher was really surprised that I actually
knew how to
cook, because there were a lot of people that go there that are
older than I
am that don't even know how to make cereal. So I think that this
school is
good for people that need that sort of education, but for others
I think it
is just beneficial just to get a chance to try out the
technology.

I agree that it would have been cool for the first few years,
but having
never even set foot in a school for the blind until last summer
for a music
camp, I don't exactly see why you would have to attend a school
like that to
teach you cooking and cleaning. I guess it depends on what your
parents and
family members are willing to teach you and work with you on,
and maybe I'm
a little biased towards mainstream, and I don't discredit
schools for the
blind because I do think kids from there have advantages in
technology and
blindness-related subjects to an extent, but going off of what
was said
earlier, I do think there are some social and academic
advantages in the
mainstream as well that might outweigh the benefits of classes
directly
related how to live as a blind person. It's all in how you
think about it
though. Anyway, things and stuff.

I didn't

some
really
good
friends though, so there was definitely that positive.
