Have you actually done this with a blind student? How did he feel?
Because perceptions are different if you have never seen something, the
result is not the same. Sometimes it might work. I can tell you from
experience, though, it can be embarrasing to be singled out. When the
others are giggling under the blindfolds, it is just a game. They know
they can take off the blindfold and see. When there's no blindfold to
remove and you still can't see, you are reminded again how different you
are.
