 MR> I have only a few things to say about this subject. As a person who
 MR> attended a school for the blind and public school both I thank my
 MR> parents every day when I moved to Texas and went to public school. I

I, too, went both to a residential school and the public school.  I
hated the residential school with a passion unmatched by anything in my
life since.  The problem was, by the time I got put in public school,
the damage had been done, and I didn't fit in there either.  I think
public school mainstreaming can work, if the child has the support of
his family and his teachers.  If not, or if the child is by nature shy,
it can be a disaster.
