Most have two or three "preps"--two or three different classes. <br /><br />For example: the French teacher teaches all levels of French, so each period will be different for her. The calculus teacher only has two periods of calculus and then spends the rest of the day teaching different levels of math. But the chemistry teacher only teaches chemistry (although a couple of those periods might be a more accelerated class).<br /><br />Does that make sense?<br /><br />Oh, and make sure to include a link to your blog in your comments since Blogger won't let you in the sign in.
