From: "Aviva Shapiro" <alshapirose@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: timetable and hours in English Steve, Don't let your school put more than one double lesson per class. I agree with Adele. Weak learners lose out and if a kid misses two days when there is English he misses all the lessons. The teachers don't gain from it either. IT is a really bad idea all around. I hope your school won't 'force you . I had a class this year with two lessons on one day. First lesson and then fifth lesson !! This was horrible too. It was like not having a second lesson. English should be spread out to at least 3 days a week. (unless it's more than 4 lessons then it should be at least 4 days.) What would be interesting to know from other teachers is how many hours each grade gets. My school which is from 9th - 12th grade has 4 hours in 9th and 11th, 5 hours in 10th grade and 5 hours ONE Semester in 12th grade . aviva
