For each lesson two houses are taught together: usually seems to be Gryffindor and Slytherin, and then Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, though it does vary. Each house only has 10 students per year (5 boys and 5 girls). So classes would be 20 students.<br /><br />So, say you teach Potions and they have one lesson a week then that is only 14 lessons per week. You can allow for O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. students to have more than one per week and also for the fact that some subjects are options and still be okay for 1 teacher to manage.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3019828684971971203.post-75261607399679455762010-12-23T11:20:57.678+00:002010-12-23T11:20:57.678+00:00All good points, and perhaps it is more inclusive ...All good points, and perhaps it is more inclusive than I gave it credit for. However, there's also an issue with teacher workload, since there seem to be hundreds of students across many year groups, but only ONE teacher of each subject. Either they aren't getting their PPA time, or the class sizes are huge. Then again, perhaps unqualified house elves are regularly teaching lessons...Neilnoreply@blogger.com
