[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They really should look at disbanding this thing.  What a waste of money.[/quote]

If you want to see just a sampling of the waste, see this staffing of classes with real APS teachers at the high school level (all of which students are eligible for vaccination):

•	[b]W. History 1500-present:[/b] 2 of 27 kids max
•	[b]US & VA government: [/b]4 of 27 kids max
•	[b]Spanish I:[/b] 6 of 27 kids max
•	[b]Spanish II:[/b] 5 of 27 kids max
•	[b]Spanish III: [/b]5 of 27 kids max
•	[b]Algebra III:[/b] 3 of 27 kids max
•	[b]Geometry Intensified:[/b] 3 of 27 kids max
•	[b]Guitar ensemble:[/b] 1 of 27 kids max 
•	[b]Japanese II: [/b]3 of 27 kids max

Here's a specials teacher, Mr. B:

•	[b]Adaptive PE 10: [/b] 5 of 35 kids max
•	[b]Health & PE I (Class #1): [/b] 6 of 35 kids max
•	[b]Health & PE I (Class #2):[/b] 28 of 35 kids max
•	[b]Health & PE I (Class #3):[/b] 24 of 35 kids max
•	[b]Health & PE II (Class #1):[/b] 16 of 35 kids max
•	[b]Health & PE II (Class #2):[/b] 23 of 35 kids max

I’m glad Mr. B has one class with 0 students because 7 classes is a ridiculous teaching schedule. 6 classes is fine.[/quote]

How long is each class? Assuming each is about an hour, that’s 7 hours of health and PE. I want that job LOL.[/quote]

When I taught high school, each teacher taught 5 classes a day. I'm not sure how that's changed with block scheduling now. 7 means no planning time at all.[/quote]
