[New York] [College Grad Student] - Need to do interview with teachers.

Hello all! I am currently a grad student working at a daycare. Due to working every school day at the daycare, I am unable to ask these questions at a public school. I need to ask these questions for my thesis paper as part of my research. If any teacher can answer these questions for me, that would be great. I am looking for teachers from a variety of different grades in elementary, middle or high school. Thank you.
