How many periods/classes does your school have per day?
envisagator:
Get ready to hear my school's period, you will be disbelief.
Our school has 2 weeks with different timetables, Week A, and Week B.
yr 11, 12 start at 7.28am mon,tues,wed,fri which is denoted as period 1, each period lasts 51mins. But if you do Mxt 1 you start at 7.28 on thursday aswell, while everyone else gets a sleep in :( :( :(
Seniors, 2 periods, then roll call, then 2 then recess which is 20 mins then 2 periods, and then at 12.54pm you get to go home.
But, If you do extension courses, e.g. for me I have math ext 2 on tuesday, wednesday Week A, then wednesday week B, and ext 1 on tues week A, which basically means I have 7.3 hour days which sucks but free periods suffice.
Generally, i.e. yr 7-10 roll call 8.55am, then 2 periods, recess, 2 periods, lunch (30 mins), 2 periods, then school ends at 3.06pm
But on thursdays, we have 4 periods, and end at 12.17 but yr 7-11 have sport afterwards.
In summary, we have 8 periods, with each period being 51 mins long, and seniors start at 7.28 and ends at 12.54pm unless you have an extension course

ahah, I honestly dont understand why, towards the beginning of yr 11 I hated waking up to early (6am) and getting to school at 7.28, but, now I surprisingly like it, you feel like you have so much time in the afternoon.

Two of my high schools were the standard 6 classes per day. My final school had four classes, which I infinitely preferred. A lot of the kids were kinda poorly behaved at my school, so the first few minutes of most classes were spent getting ready or disciplining everyone for talking, and the teacher stopped the final few minutes of classes because nobody would pay attention by this point (exception: science classes, which had a great cohort), so having more time in the four-classes gave you more of that middle ground of actual work.
The bell times were weird af tho
Warning Bell – 8.55am
Period 1 – 9.00am – 10.18am
Recess – 10.18am – 10.53am
Period 2 – 10.53am – 12.04pm
Change over – 12.04pm – 12.09pm
Period 3 – 12.09pm – 1.20pm
Lunch – 1.20pm – 1.55pm
Period 4 – 1.55pm – 3.06pm
Official end – 3.16pm

Yeah, 100%. I actually definitely would have preferred starting earlier and finishing earlier. Those times are so specific, though haha.
Although, thinking about it, I think we had really whack start and finish times, too - probs just got used to it!
