Hi! This is Ria's page. So, when I went to P.S. 96, I noticed many things.


 * My buddy's classmate was supposed to be put in the "disabled" class because he had learning disabilities, but apparently, he wasn't in there because the teacher' said there was no room. He had his own desk and whenever he was slow with his answer, the teacher (a woman) rolled her eyes and was quite impatient with him. I thought this was unfair, fo the boy had disabilities! She expected him to know everything.


 * My buddy was quite slow and shy. She didn't have a good memory (She didn't know her birthday, her classmate's name even though he kept telling her, and she forgot how to do the project that we did,so I ended up doing everything except the coloring- even explaining to her didn't work.)


 * A boy was disrupting the story that Camille read with comments like, "Eww! He's ugly and who likes old people?". (We had read The Giving Tree and was at the part when the boy turned old and set down on the stump of the tree). However, the teacher only said for the boy to be quiet and didn't do anything else for the rest of the story, though he kept rudely interrupting.


 * Lastly, as we were heading to the bus, a few older students at P.S. 96 gave me dirty looks and I heard them whisper," We don't need those rich kid's charity. They're such snobs because they think they're better than us with top notch educations." I ignored their comments and glares.
