Re: Advantages of a Seeing Person Knowing Braille?
 

I have a student who is blind in the Math 12 course I teach. she braille's out everything and of course I cant mark it. So it gets sent to a person that reads braille through sight and not their fingers. This person copies out what the person wrote in pencil so I can mark it.

So if you could read braille, one benefit would be you could have a job doing this.

I can think of one obvious disadvantage - they couldn't tell you that this thread blows.

1. Instead of having to keep braille magazines and books around just for those two times a year when the power is out at night...buy a flashlight?

More than half of blind people don't know braille. It is a dying language (due to screenreading software, audio books, etc.) and doesn't seem like a good investment of time for a sighted person.
