I teach at two schools.

7 classes of 4,5,6

Each class has roughly 30-35 kids

So I roughly teach 640 kids in one school.

At my second school I have 4 classes each have 10-15 kids

So grand total is about 670 kids.

What I don't understand is that why the hell do they have schools which have more staff then students .. Whats the point isn't it a huge waste of tax payers money.

I work in a middle school and teach one lesson each week with each class in the school - Currently just 1st class and 2nd classs - school is only 2 years old. There are 9 classes in each grade with almost 40 in each class. So I teach around 360 students each week ... and can guarantee if I go shopping or even just out walking anywhere around where I live I will meet students every time ... and for me that is not a bad thing ...

I teach in a hagwon, I have 10 classes. I see 6 of them every day, two of them every Tuesday and Wednesday, and two of them every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Mon, Wed, Fri, and Tue, Thur classes swap over every 4 weeks.

I think the average class size is a tad over 4, so I think I have 45 students?

3 grade: 3 classes of 30= 90
4 grade: 3 classes of 30= 90
5 grade: 3 classes of 30= 90
6 grade: 3 classes of 30= 90
Mixed 1 and 2 grade: 1 class= 30

Equals 390 little rays of demonic sunshine!

1 middle school = ~1,430 kids

I teach 12 classes each of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. They each average about 40 students per class. I don't mind teaching that many students, but the only downside is that I see them once every 2 weeks, sometimes once a month if their class is cancelled for some reason

I teach 2 grades in a public high school: 1st graders I see once a month (520 students); 2nd graders once a week (580 students). Total of 1100 kids churning through my classroom. This is down from last year since there are 2 fewer first grade classes this year than we had before.

Funny thing is, though, thinking back to my hagwon days, it seems so much easier now than it used be. I may have 40 faces looking up at me at one time, but I don't have the problem of 8 year old boys tearing around the room or ducking under the table or having to walk down the hall with a kid affixed to each leg in a koala contest. Compared with that, 1100 high schoolers are a breeze...
