On average, how many students do you have per class period?

Fewer than 12?

20?

30?

I'm just curious.

10 on average. Most classes are 12, but I have a couple that are 4 to 8.

I've taught in two schools. Between the two, the smallest "class" was 2. Largest was around 20.

I've had classes of 12-42 at public school. It all depends on where one works. You could end up with anywhere from 1 to 45+.

Nope.

I'm pretty much on my own, but I do have full support of the K-teachers (home room teachers... normally off teaching another subject to other classes) and/or the boss if I need them for discipline, explaining something difficult, "accidents", etc.

I teach really great kids and though they do get a bit loud and crazy at times (with 18~22 kindy kids that's to be expected!), I usually have very few problems with them that I cannot handle myself.
