Can you share some nyc teaching fellows horror stories?

The most common one is probably the inadequate training. Teaching fellows are thrown into the classroom with just a basic overview of teaching methods. They are then expected to handle all kinds of situations, from special needs students to advanced learners. Without proper training, it's like being in the deep end without knowing how to swim.

Sure. One horror story from NYC could be about the haunted subway tunnels. There are rumors of strange noises and apparitions seen by late - night workers. Some claim to have heard eerie screams echoing through the tunnels when there was no one else around.

One horror story is about a tenant who found out the apartment had a severe mold problem that the landlord tried to hide. The tenant started getting sick all the time, but the landlord refused to fix it. Eventually, the tenant had to break the lease and find a new place while still dealing with health issues.

Well, there was this time a teacher had to teach a large class of ESL students. The classroom was very noisy and the students were not interested in the textbook materials at all. The teacher tried different methods but couldn't engage them, and it was really frustrating.

Sure. There are stories of teachers facing very large class sizes, like over 50 students in a single classroom. It's a horror for a teacher as it's really hard to give individual attention. Also, there were cases where the teaching materials promised were not provided. Teachers had to come up with their own resources on short notice, which was a nightmare. Some teachers had horror experiences with bugs in the classrooms. Thailand has a lot of insects, and having them crawling around while you're trying to teach can be quite off - putting.

Well, one horror story could be about the extreme heat in some of the classrooms with no proper air - conditioning. It made it really difficult to teach and students were often distracted and grumpy. Another might be dealing with unexpected changes in the curriculum midway through a semester without much notice, which threw off all the teaching plans.

Well, one horror story could be the lack of proper teaching resources. Teachers might find themselves in classrooms with very few textbooks or teaching aids. Another could be the language barrier not just with students but also with some local staff at schools, which makes administrative tasks really difficult.

There have been cases of pickpockets operating in the NYC subways. One person told me how they felt a hand in their pocket and when they turned around, they saw a group of shady - looking individuals. They managed to scare them off, but it was a very frightening experience. It makes people always on edge when they're on the subway, having to constantly watch out for their belongings.

Sure. It could be about the Son of Sam case. David Berkowitz terrorized NYC in the 1970s, shooting people randomly. His actions created a climate of fear, and this could be part of the 'nyc horror story'. The idea that a killer could be lurking anywhere in the city, waiting to strike, is truly horrifying.

Sure. There's the story of the haunted subway station. People have reported seeing a ghostly figure on the platform late at night. It's said to be the spirit of a worker who died in an accident there long ago.
