| If your co-teachers are behind and have not covered all the material with their students yet for the exam, then yes they will usually cancel your classes to get more time with them. |

Fewer classes 
Yes, this is happening in my public schools. It's important for the teachers to coach the students on what exactly will come up in the exams otherwise where would fair testing be... |

Plus side: There were no classes this week, and there will be no classes next week.
Down side: I still have to go to work and try to make myself useful everyday.  |

Classes is a count noun. Use 'fewer', just as Pootle said. |

I never get the week before exams off (HS), but now and then a teacher will ask if they can take my class.
I know that the students are cramming, so I play a short game (NOT hangman!) for about 15 minutes, then let the have "free study time". I've prepared them as much as I could (lots of vocab and definitions) so now they're on their own. |
