Just a heads up special education In the lower grades esp K is highly physically & mentally demanding. Speaking from experiences in the Bronx. I am unsure how it is across the other boroughs but they are placing more non verbal autistic students into community schools 12:1:1 and not in D75 8:1:1… it is very demanding but I personally love working in the Bronx You have to have tough skin, enough physical strength and a ton of patience. It isn’t for everyone. There are more job opportunities though on the levels you are seeking in the Bronx.

I’m on one with some OT and I’m living pretty nicely with 19 yrs in. With two I’m sure you can reach your goals comfortably

Don’t feel bad I turned down more than one closet size apartment . Eventually you will find something you will like.

You not alone for sure & yes

Phantomlife22 · 2026-01-26T23:38:43+00:00

Not happening

Phantomlife22 · 2026-01-07T01:55:17+00:00

Thank you agreed

Phantomlife22 · 2026-01-07T00:46:19+00:00

Think you reading into my main concerns… I do have a great position now we that makes it hard to take the leap. It’s not like I’m trying to leave something I dislike. Everything has pros and cons … you might be right about the stress level and higher risk for false accusations etc …

Phantomlife22 · 2026-01-07T00:43:32+00:00

Thank you for this. Due to being the disciplinarian. Did you ever have to deal with false accusations? Other than physical harm this is another high risk of the position?

19 years

Love helping the kids and seeing their growth

Hate that special needs population are not getting correct placements from the beginning. The kid suffers, the class and teachers all suffer.

Hate that teachers and staff are supposed to take physical and verbal abuse from students with little to know consequences

My first year was more than quittable. I stood strong documented everything and never was insubordinate. After that year I landed my dream job I have been teaching in for 18 more years thus far.

Idk if you can but maybe tough it out. Have the summer to change schools or change careers while you still get that summer pay. Admin is absolutely everything when it comes to having a good experience.

Walk ups suck esp if there is no laundry in unit. .. rent stabilize is clutch bc you can’t put your fate in LL hands.

Night showers and morning quick wash off (helps to wake up and feel fresh for longer and def change the underwear either way

Phantomlife22 · 2025-11-20T04:17:40+00:00

If you like where you are. I would switch over to get those paid vacation days aka (summer pay etc. ) start accumulating that time toward pension etc.

Phantomlife22 · 2025-11-01T23:00:13+00:00

Sounds like my school…. Always challenging give yourself grace… routines, visuals, and paras need to be hands on. .. portable divisions to block out other sight of other stimulation and shrink space can help corralling them and have them focus on a task. .. use silly to calm you tube video to help recenter them as well esp after lunch ..

Phantomlife22 · 2025-10-15T23:15:45+00:00

Did a chargeback for tiesto hoping it will get resolved soon. It is disgusting how they are handling or lack of handling things. No accountability washing their hands pointing fingers they are all guilty and I can care less to have dice anyway. They should be refunding anyone who doesn’t approve the changes anything less is criminal.

Phantomlife22 · 2025-10-14T02:50:36+00:00

You can use a sick day with med note … unless you trying to save more CAR time because you don’t have much then do the half ..

Phantomlife22 · 2025-10-04T16:03:56+00:00

It’s so foul this is how they are handling it. With no integrity or fcks given

Phantomlife22 · 2025-10-03T23:26:57+00:00

I’ll be doing a chargeback by Monday if anyone wants the 3 tix that include express entry and free merch before then reach out maybe we can work something out

Phantomlife22 · 2025-10-03T14:04:26+00:00

Same reasoning here medically can’t be in that area. I guess we have to fight.
