Okay, so I've been teaching for a while.  But not in a truly urban school.  So here's an example of an urban experience.  Today, I got my 25th student.  Her name is Carribbean.  So now every time I hear her name I'm going to hear Billy Ocean rolling through my mind.   All jokes aside, 25 students without an instructor assistant.   That's a 25:1 ratio and I'm supposed to work miracles with that.  Yeah right.
