At the position I currently have I work from 2-9MWF and 2-930T and 2-830Thursday

schedule is like this

2-225
3-325 325-350
4-425 425-450
5-525 525-550
6-645 645-730
740-825 or 8-9(MWF)
830-930(T)

If you count classes I teach about 50 classes+ a week. I have had several arguments with the school but they are adamant that the 10 minutes in between classes does not count towards teaching time.

No mention of preparation time is made in my contract. I feel I am getting screwed but what can I do about it?

You cannot do anything. Teaching time is time teaching, not break time.

Not much. If your contract states 120 teaching hours than that's what you work amnd you can have a swiss cheese schedule which basically has your at work 8-10hours(that was me last year)

Now I have both my teaching time and work hours written into my contract.
