RE: faircosa Foundation's Twitter Updates: 2019/04/29
I was speaking with my optometrist following my routine check up, she indicated that the majority of repeat offenders become so due to the fact that they have poor vision, which inhibits their ability to read, learn, and further themselves effectively with education.
The statistics she quoted were quite saddening, given the fact that optometry is mostly subsidized by the government here in Australia.
Interesting stuff. I gave the post an upvote!
That is interesting indeed. There are so many factors that create barriers to success for people. Often, we have to dig deep into the past to figure out WHY people do what they do. Poor vision is a great example of this. If as a child you couldn't see the board, it's hard to learn. As a result, education suffers and you have to do SOMETHING to make a living. It's quite sad.
Thanks for sharing that info with me, and I appreciate the upvote. :-)
