Dear Jan,
I teach seven, forty minute classes per day with five minutes in between,
except on Tuesday, I only teach five. I have an hour between 12 and 1 for
lunch and planning. I also have some time most mornings and afternoons.
Then there's Tuesday, eighty glorious minutes (most years I teach 35 classes
a week). Our day starts at 8:20 a.m. and ends at 3:50 p.m. I have a nice
room, two great co-principals and professional colleagues. I like my
schedule except that I do feel rushed. I wouldn't mind having 50 or 60 min.
classes.
