You hagwon folk will probably tell me to harden the f%^k up. But, do any PS folk have 6 classes scheduled for one day? My new schedule has Friday fully booked up. Plus, I usually do "Extra curricular" classes, so that means I would be doing 7 classes from 8.00 till 3.30. One of them is Teachers' class.

My entire schedule sucks across the board. Period 1 classes every day. 4 out of 5 4th period classes. Monday is 3 classes.

I have two days in which I have 6 classes scheduled, Tuesday and Friday. On Tuesday I also have two afterschool classes and on Friday I have one. So on Tuesday, that's 8 classes. Thursdays, I hae 5 classes, plus 2 afterschool classes. My only good day is Wednesday, 2 classes only and no afterschool classes.

All in all, a lot different from last semester, but at least I'll be making more money with the afterschool classes.

At least one public school person's going to tell you the same. You'll get one heavily-scheduled day every week most likely because you don't work Saturdays. That means the classes you would've been teaching on Saturday mornings, if you were under the same work day requirements as a Korean teacher, must be moved into the regular weekday schedules.

My schedule - 4, 5, 4, 6, 5

I have a 25hr contract though, but can leave early when I finish early.

Last year I had 6, 6, 3, 4, 3...

New schedule is 5, 6, 3, 3, 5...

So ya... Suck it up

My Wednesday schedule last year sucked! 8:10 start at the gate, special "Gate English" thing, periods 1-4, eat lunch, duty in English Zone, fifth period, 20 min break 1 hour parents class, then break (thankfully) till home time.

Thursday only two classes.

So far this year 5/4/4/2/2. Plus English Zone duty in lunch break. It'll get bulked up with extra classes/activities/duties once they decide on what they'll have us do this year.

My worst was between March and May, when I did two after school, plus teachers class on Thursday. And teacher's class was two hours. So ten class hours total.

Now it's 5-4-4-4-5, which is pretty good. I wouldn't mind a 4-3-2-3-4 like some country school folk that I know, though

[TheUrbanMyth]

Last year it was 4-5-5-3-3. Then two months before the end of the year it became 4-5-3-3-3. About half of those are extra-curricular classes (small school)

This year the schedule isn't finalized yet, and my extra-curricular classes haven't been planned so it's 1-2-2-3-4 for the week. Next week might be different...we'll see.

Last year I was 4,3,5,4,4.

This year it's 3,4,4,4,6. It's only one more class, I guess it could be worse.

EDIT: Good grief. 25 phhb critical errors so far.

1, 4, 4, 6, 5...both last year and this year. The schedule remains the same. Also have a 'developing class' on Friday AND afterschool program. Eh...it happens.

[tokkibunni8]

2 days of 8 classes, 2 days of 6 classes, and one day of 4. If I wanted to I can teach 8 classes everyday, but I like to have my afternoon tea time Six a day isn't bad.
