This is basically my thesis topic. The concensus of low vision teachers is that the students shouldn't be taught braille unless the child absolutely cannot read any print whatsoever or their condition will for sure worsen. The schools actually make the TVIs prove that braille is absolutely necessary or they won't allow it to be taught. I just don't get that.

I just don't understand people like zeezaxa who think that blind/low vision people are just fine being illiterate. We have audio technology for sighted kids, too. It would be much cheaper and easier for schools to not bother teaching anyone to read - just be a listening society. Can anyone say "Baaaa?"
Hmmm, hope the electricity doesn't go out!
