I also applied to Hillcrest because they had a pre-med program and a theater program because, you know, you have to be in theater to be a guitarist and things like that [unclear]. What I did do, I got into Hillcrest into the theater program. And then I ended up moving to Queens Village. So I went from South Ozone Park to Queens Village, completely different neighborhood, it was more of a middle class suburban area at the time. Very, completely different from South Ozone Park, very. And so I got into Hillcrest and I, it took me, it took about six weeks, very long time to hear back, I wasn't sure about the process. And I remember my mom would take me to the bus stop, because there's only one bus here, Queens Village. I would go into the school and it was huge, humongous.

I ended up visiting her, I used to visit her at work a lot. And then I ended up becoming very familiar with the setting. And I thought, let me apply and check myself out, if I like this.

I ended up at Touro and got my Bachelor's in education. And then I stayed at Touro, I'm still at Touro for my Master's in education for special needs.

I don't have access to touch them, to see what they're doing, to constantly keep an eye. It's either they log in, or they don't. And I cannot control that, so I have no control. Before the pandemic, I would go to work from eight to two-twenty. That's when, two-twenty was when the kids leave, but I'll still be at work. But during that time, what we do, we have multiple adults in the classroom with 12 students with different disability. Some with ID [intellectual disability], some with Down syndrome, a lot with autism, and quite a few with behavior. And a combination like that can be very stressful and very hectic because a child with behavior can suddenly pick up the desk and throw it at another child, or at me, or another staff member. So we control that environment. Our environment where the child on paper is stated third grade, is in third grade, but at a level at kindergarten or first grade or even pre-K. So that means that child functions at an extremely lower level than what's stated. So for instance, a 10 year old is in third or fourth grade, but can only do work of a kindergartener.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/89215/file/184787#t=1311.0,1440.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/89215/file/184787/transcript/62017/annotation/59","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Annie Rampadarat: Now, a child with autism would have stimming, all these distractions in the classroom, all these posters in the classroom, all these other students in the classroom, his friends making noise. The other child throwing a desk, the other child on the floor. So we would control a classroom in that manner. Now, everyone's at home. I can just hope that they're behaving well with their parents because students at home and students at school are completely different. I feel as if, I didn't, at first in the beginning of the pandemic was extremely emotional because I would see the kids crying on screen. And no one's there to help them. Their parents would log them in and leave, or be on the couch or go into another room. So, during the pandemic I made it one of my obligations to do a drive by, just a quick little wave and drop off little books, and maybe a gift bag for them. Ended up doing that, took the entire day, so we had to cancel teaching for that day. Now, the pandemic, we, I've learned, DOE teachers have learned that it's not easy, and parents have learned that it's not easy to take care of their children. I can condone spoiling one's child, right? But how is that child behaving with you, and how's that child behaving while in school? There is a huge difference. And because, because of the pandemic, I, I kind of saw what was going on at home, and parents not being educated about what their child's disability is takes an effect on the child and the parent because they don't know how to help their child. Because in their head, what they want is for their child to be normal again, or to have a normal child. Well, what is a normal child? You, they haven't accepted the fact that their child has an IEP [Individualized Education Program], which is a plan that would help their child develop in a sense.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/89215/file/184787#t=1440.0,1612.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/21/collection_resources/89215/file/184787/transcript/62017/annotation/60","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Annie Rampadarat: There are programs, now there are videos, Zoom meetings, to help parents, to guide them.

Loads of them flourished in the fact where they didn't like people, they didn't like being around friends. They like quality time all by themselves. All they, all this student wanted was to be with his parents by himself, and do everything by himself. Academically in school, he was not doing so well. At home, he was extremely well, answering questions, speaking more, typing even, writing even. I found out you can draw, color, paint, do all these things, be more active than just being in a classroom with people he didn't like. And every day he would say, I would ask him, \"How you feeling?\" And he would say, \"Happy.\" And I would say, \"Why?\" And he would say, \"Well, because I like being home every single day.\" He said, and I gave him an example of being sad. What would make you feel sad? And I gave him a picture of in school and at home, and he chose being in school. So we have to understand each child's disability because there are options for parents to homeschool their children.
