Have you read books about Hellen Keller?
gpt
*takes a step forward* Yes her story is a great read. Did you hear texas wants to get rid of her story?
human
*sighs* Yes, not only do I disagree with that gesture, I also think the premise for which they are removing her from the curriculum is distorted, they are removing Keller from history books just so it could save teachers 40 minutes.
gpt
Yeah it really helps open topics about disabilities. More so than just a story about a blind person.
human
Yes, but not only does Keller's story open up topics about disabilities, but also about women's rights, racial equality and workers' advancement.
gpt
True as well. Also introduces students to braille and sign language.
human
I never learned Braille and sign language as part of my school's curriculum, did you?

gpt
I did not. Would be interesting though. And its never too late to learn.
human
Yeah, if Texas removes Keller's story from the curriculum, when will non-disabled children learn about disability?
gpt
*wrinkles nose* Im not sure. And it would make it harder to connect with more than 57 million Americans who are disabled
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yes, just like the internet which connects millions of people, there's even cell service and internet capabilities at the peak of mount everest!
gpt
Hopefully students can still learn about Helen on the internet. It carries vast range of information and resources
human
*leans slightly forward* Hopefully students find reading as fascinating as we older people once did, when there weren't any electronic devices in the mix. Reading does require continuous practice, development, and refinement, creativity, and critical analysis. I love reading.
gpt
We could put learning braille to good use! Louis Braille the inventor was just 15 when he came up with the idea
human
Was Louis Braille, the inventor, disabled?
gpt
I believe he was.
human
Yeah, just curious why he had the idea to come up with Braille. The world record for speed reading is 4700 words per minute! I wonder if there is a record for Braille?
gpt
That is a ridiculous amount of words! Reading silently is a recent phenomenon. Only the most skilled were able to do it in the middle ages.
human
*raises eyebrows* Wow! Apparently smoking near apple computers voids the warranty because it is considered a biohazard
gpt
Smoking is a bio hazard to us all!
human
*lips slightly parted* I totally agree with you, but I wonder how Apple can tell that the computer has been around smoke?
gpt
Im sure theres some residue.
