[AERNet] Statistics

[Jody W. Ianuzzi]

Hello Holly,

Aren't statistics the collection of data?  I have collected data from a 
random sampling of Braille reading adults who learned Braille as children.

Collect enough facts and they become static's.

I look back at my school records and I see the comment "she does well 
considering her vision limitations"  These comments were all made in 
evaluating my reading based on my limited vision.  I didn't read well for a 
sighted student.  Of course I didn't because I was a blind student expected 
to read print.  What if I had been taught Braille, then I could have soared 
rather then stumbling along as a sighted student.

Everyone was happy at the time and how relieved they all were when I 
graduated.  BUT I GRADUATED WITH A THIRD GRADE READING SPEED.

THAT WAS A MISTAKE THAT SHOULD NEVER BE REPEATED!
