Last year, I had 22 regular classes and 2 after school classes.

This year, I will have 20 regular classes and 2 after school classes, similar to my first contract.

This is fantastic news. I don't care about losing the overtime money, because I will go up from 2.1 to 2.3 for the next contract anyway.

My new co-teacher seems to be quite nice and I won't have so much work to do. I hope they want to renew my contract!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Laughing

That's technology for you. I've frantically tried to delete them, it took a while.

I am so happy right now. Laughing

Last semester I had 14 classes per week. This semester I have 12.

Backgammon anyone?

If I wasn't studying, I'd have left by now. It's disgusting how little work I have to do for my money.

Yeah, I went from 18 a week last semester to 14 a week this semester. Thinking about an online masters!

Last semester was 18.

The brilliance at the hive have yet to do the schedule, but probably 20 classes, which is unfortunate.

I too hope my teaching hours are low, but I still don't yet know as nothing is exactly planned out yet. No schedules nor a school year calendar exist yet in my schools. There weren't any classes today even though it's the 1st day of school as no one seems to be ready. I don't know when I'll start teaching, but I don't mind getting extra free time to print my materials and surf the net.
