(I guess I haven't been reading enough.)<BR/><BR/>Most people don't get that sort of thing at all. "Well, you have to understand ...."<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>But you'll still never see me in one of your classes: CC administrators have been pretty consistent in telling me I am not "otherwise qualified" to attend even open-enrollment schools. Because, you know, I can type but I can't speak. That means I can't think, right?<BR/><BR/>It's too bad: science was one of those disciplines that didn't interest me when I was in college (I was in love with philosophy), and I could use some help fixing that. (And I know there are plenty of faculty who would be happy to put up with someone who writes even in realtime communication, as long as I showed up and kept up.)<BR/><BR/>Still, thanks. I really needed a reminder today that there are people who get that I'm a person too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
