She continuously talked to me about how the three of them being together should not have happened and that the school was trying to find another teacher to help her everyday with them. The issue with that though comes from the fact that Broadway does not have a special education program and only four teachers with a special education degree for the fifty-one diagnosed special needs students. With the teacher to student ratio being ten to one the ability to have a co-teacher available to assist the students in multiple classrooms seems highly unlikely. The teacher I observed tried her best to see that the three students got some special attention during instruction, but rarely ever sought to really give them the one-on-one attention they needed. She continuously put the responsibility on whoever else happened to be in her room, such as, myself and a substitute
