I'm just dropping in to thank everyone for their responses. What a great resource!
And I have another question.
How is the school day typically broken up? ie a couple of periods of classes, then a break, a couple more, then lunch, then a couple more?
I also need help with the terminology. Is the first class of the day called Class 1? Period 1? What is the first break called? Snack? Recess? Break? I'm assuming the lunch break is called 'Lunch', but if I'm wrong, could you let me know? In Australia, we've done away with the afternoon break. Was it still a part of the typical American High School day in the eighties?
Many, many thanks to everyone who shared their experiences.
Corrina.
