I'm new to NYC but not to special education and will be teaching in this setting in a d75 school this year. I know 6:1:1 is the most restrictive setting. besides class size, what differentiates this type of classroom? how are students placed in it? and how do you fill your days?

I'm coming from 10:1:1 in another state so it actually feels daunting thinking about how much more one on one time I should in theory have with this new class.

thanks for your help!

I'm a new transplant living near Harlem Hospital, and there is just an extraordinary amount of public defecation going on. I understand that bathrooms aren't always accessible, especially to unhoused people, but I also don't want to have to avoid human shit walking out of my apartment.

is this, like, standard practice? is there anything I can do outside of police involvement? wtf is happening
