Definition of a prep

If I have a prep, I do the lesson plan. I find the resources. I teach the class. I write the assessment and grade it. I call the parents.

If I have five preps, I do all of that for 5 classes.

Hey, Funsucker. You do not have 5 preps if you only do that for one class. If for the other 4 classes other teachers write the lesson plans, the copies, the teaching, the assessments, and you offer a) no help and b) no work.

That means you have ONE prep and are in 4 other classes.
