Every teacher has a different way for teaching but the basis of it all is mostly the same. Depending on the grade and type of school it is and how classes are scheduled. In my Elementary I had 3 classes, Math, Science, each being an hour or so long, and then my "Core" class taking up the remainder of the day and the rest of the subjects. In Jr. High/Middle school I had 7 classes each 45 minutes long. And in High School I had A days and B days 4 classes an hour and some odd minutes long.. I'm not sure how it is for other areas but I'm sure it's similar... I don't remember Elementary so much so I'll focus on Jr. High/Middle school and High school...


Every teacher has/had roughly about 25-30 students per class. In Jr. High/Middle School with 7 classes that's about 175-210 students total per year/semester. Same goes for High school only the days switch off... I was one of the students that needed that extra attention and help.. I was a little slower then the rest of the class yet the teacher would keep to her study book and the class would get further and I would eventually and inevitably get lost and confused... Math was particularly bad. Anyways I'm rambling and I'd like some input on how everyone was taught and what worked best and what absolutely failed for them... Me for the most part.. School failed me.


What goes around comes around. Karma.

Current teaching methods at the new school that I am in suck. I know the easy wya out is not your best choice but I came from a challenging district that didn't always give you answers to a test before you took it. The school Im in now gives you the easy way in out in most subjects excludin MATH!!!!!!!!!! I mean take algebra sometimes you just need the easier way to do a problem.
