[Gutek]

6x45 minutes. Was normally done with school at 1pm.

 

[Anth0ny]

4 periods, 90 minutes each.

I can't even imagine 8 periods. those are some short ass classes.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

freshman and sophomore - 7

Junior and Senior - 8

Was at school at 6:30 a.m. and wouldn't get home till 6 or later because of band practice my junior/senior year. Then came the 4-5 hours of homework.

Good times.

 

[zswordsman]

My Mexican highschool was kind of like college schedule wise. Depending on the semester sometimes ID get out at 12 or 1 PM. I had a Friday where I got out at 10am, loved that semester lol

 

[Linkyn]

30 lessons per week, 55 minutes each.

 

[User 463088]

First 9 weeks of freshman year I had 7. I went to public school after that, and they did 4 blocks per day. Then I went to a school that did 8 but on alternating days. M and W you did the odds. T and Thur you did even. Friday you did everything. Then I was homeschoolrd after getting bashed so it didn't matter. Got done with school by noon

 

[Placktor]

4 classes. 90 Minutes each

 

[Strimei]

I want to say it was 8, with wednesday and thursdays having a double block of either period 7 or 8 (7 on Wednesday, 8 on Thursday).

Class started at 7:30 or so, we got out at 3:05. I think. It was over 11 years ago, I can't remember that well anymore...

 

[ShironRedshift]

6 periods, 1 hour each. Looking at my high school's website, it looks like they might have changed things up by a few minutes since I went there (can't really remember--some feel right, but others feel a bit off; idk) but still pretty much the same deal:
1st HR - 7:14 – 8:14
2nd HR - 8:19 – 9:19
3rd HR - 9:24 – 10:24
4th HR - 10:29 – 12:04
5th HR - 12:09 – 1:09
6th HR - 1:14 – 2:14

4th period is longer because that also includes the 3 potential lunch periods (before, after, or in the middle of 4th hour).

 

[Eos]

4 in high school
7 in jr high

 

[darkazcura]

6 (M, W, F)
5 (Tue, Thurs)

On M, W, F, we had 5 47 min classes and 1 long period that was about 90 minutes.

On Tuesday and Thursday, we had 3 47 minute classes and 2 long periods of 90 minutes.

First period started at 7:20 AM. Last Period ended at 1:50 PM.

 

[xxracerxx]

Holy hell some of you started school late in the morning. Our first class started at 7:30.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

4. 1:20 each with a 30 min lunch

 

[Fuzzy]

Holy hell some of you started school late in the morning. Our first class started at 7:30.

Mine was something like 8:45 and I would barely make it on time.

 

[theecakee]

7 each like 50mins, not counting lunch.
It went...

1
2
3
4/5 or 4 lunch
5/6, 6 lunch, or 6/7
7/8 or 8 lunch
9
10

Went from like 7:45ish to 2:44

 

[Orbis]

Holy hell some of you started school late in the morning. Our first class started at 7:30.

Lol, I was still very much in bed. Let that sink in. All those years you were starting lessons, I was fast asleep in my cosy bed, every single time.

 

[krae_man]

It kept changing. I think at the end I had 6 one hour periods a day.

10 Periods labled A-J and you had each one 3 times a week. 8 were courses, two were lunch periods. Once a week you had a "spare" lunch and got to sleep in or leave early(the extra lunch period was first period for Grade 9-10 and last for 11-12).

In OAC you only needed to take 6 classes so you I had two extra spares then.

Hardly anyone here will probably know what OAC even is. Hive five fellow Ontarian who graduated High school 2000 and earlier!

 

[Lordzap]

It changed throughout the week:
6 - Monday, Tuesday 8:30 to 3:40
5 - Wednesday, Thursday 8:30 to 2:40
4 - Fridays 8:30 to 1:05

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Holy hell some of you started school late in the morning. Our first class started at 7:30.

Yeah I started at 7:30 too. And honestly prefer it. During the winter months it always sucked only having a few hours of sun an evening. If we had started at 9 it'd have already been getting dark by the time school ended. It's why I like working in schools now. I get in at 7A out by 3P.

 

[eBay Huckster]

7 x 50 minutes for the first three years

(then i was dual enrolled at a community college and only had to be at the school for 3, which was incidentally my best year academically)

 

[Astral Dog]

I had six classes, but we were on an alternating system, so you only had three periods per day. Homeroom was just built into the first period of the day.

Basically, it went:

7:30 - 8AM: Homeroom
8 - 9:45AM: 1st Period
15 Minute Break
10 - 11:45AM: 2nd Period
11:45 - 12:30PM: Lunch
15 Minute Break
12:45 to 2:30PM: 3rd Period

what is homeroom

 

[John Kowalski]

5x90 + 1x45

 

[ldcommando]

6 of 50 minutes, I think. With a 15 minute break in the middle

 

[Watevaman]

4, I believe. Homeroom was the same every day and then we rotated the other 3 every other day. Plus a lunch period.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

In Finland it's like 8 periods max with 50 minutes and 10 minutes breaks and 45 minutes lunch in between. Obviously some subjects went on longer than that 45 minutes in a row. Can't really remember.

 

[Cheat Code]

Secondary school was six class periods a day, with a registration period at the start of the day, a short break period after two class periods and a lunch period after four class periods.

 

[Lucreto]

It's been a while but mine was like

9-9.40 class 1
9.40-10.20 class 2
10.20-10.55 class 3
10.55-11.10 Registration and break
11.10-11.50 class 4
11.50-12.30 class 5
12.30-13.10 class 6
13.10-14.00 Lunch
14.00-14.40 class 7
14.40-15.30 class 8
15.30-16.00 class 9
16.00 Finished

This is my equivalent of High school which we called Secondary school.

 

[backflip10019]

8 different classes, but they rotated every day so that we only had 7 each day.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

6 periods and homeroom, non rotational
15 minutes mid morning break and 30 minute lunch
8;15 to 3:05 as LAUSD mandated time at school per school year, it gets weird sometimes when you had strikes. broken ass system.

senior year I had 5 so I left at lunch

 

[ascii42]

7, though starting with sophomore year, due to budget cuts, they started defaulting to 6 and making it optional to take a class first period. I took 6 as a sophomore, and 7 as a junior and senior. I think classes were 50 minutes long, same as college.

There were two lunch periods. Your 5th period class determined whether you had first lunch (4 classes then lunch then 3 classes) or second lunch (5 classes then lunch then 2 classes)

 

[Tarkus]

I feel old. I don't remember 😔

 

[The Real Abed]

In my day we had 8. The last three were after lunch and were rotated every day so the kids that took after school stuff like sports wouldn't miss the same period. It would be 678, 786 and 867. The last one would always prompt people to start joking and singing. They were 44 minutes each with 3 minutes in between.

Some people would have two study halls some years.

My last year I spent the entire morning at a polytechnic all school and got back in time for lunch and the last three periods which in my lucky circumstance were gym, study hall and general math III. Easiest senior year ever.

 

[Appleman]

4 courses for 1 hour and 20 minutes each, not including the 1 hour lunch.

You had 4 courses in one semester (September to January), and another 4 in the second semester (February to June). Toronto, Canada.

Okay, since everyone is doing the timetable thing

8:50 - 10:10 - First period
10:20 - 11:40 - Second period
11:40 - 12:35 - Lunch
12:35 - 13:55 - Third Period
14:00 - 15:20 - Fourth Period

Time in between classes is for walking to class or announcements.

Same, and same.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

4 hour and a half classes with a 30 min study hall.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Four per semester.

 

[Forerunner]

I think it was six or maybe five, its been ten years since I graduated.

I think it was:

1
2
Break
3
4
Lunch
5
6

 

[Kayo Police]

Is 7 the new standard or something?

I only had 4 classes a day not including lunch.

Also it seems like school is starting later and later, in HS school started at 7 though I do think my classes in college started at 8am.

 

[Blasty]

Eight 40 minute periods. My senior year I have six 40 minute periods.

 

[old]

5.
3-lunch-2

 

[Milksheikhs]

I went to 4 different high schools:

2 of them were 6 - 45 minute long ones.
1 was 4 - 90 minute long ones.
1 was like an A/B block schedule where you go to one set of classes one day and the other the next day. I can't remember if it was 4, 5, or 6 classes.


The 4 - 90 minute ones were torture. It felt like the class would never end.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Ontario, we had four classes a day per semester, for a total of 8 classes across the whole year. Can't fathom doing all 8 at once.

 

[FeenixRising]

Seven.

We took 4 periods each day alternating from even and odd with the seventh period being a daily class that was shorter than the others.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Seven.

 

[Africanus]

I currently have 7.

1st period 07:45 - 08:30
2nd period 08:35 - 09:20
3rd period 09:25 - 10:10
4th period 10:20 - 11:05 (5 minute passing period followed by 5 minute general announcements on intercom)
5th period is broken up into A (11:10 - 11:30) B (11:35 - 11:55) C (12:00 -12:20) and D (12:25 to 12:40) Depending on what hallway you have class in determines which section you have lunch in. I personally go to A lunch, followed by an emmaus (which serves a similar function as homeroom, though is used to teach character uselessly every so often) and class C and D.

6th period 12:45 - 1:30.
7th period 1:35 -2:20

Such is life.

 

[LProtag]

Where I went we had block scheduling, which is 4 a day with alternating classes.

Where I teach right now we have 6 a day for an hour each without alternating classes, but students take most core classes for only 2 out of 3 trimesters of the year. It's a weird way of doing it, but I like having an hour with each of my classes every day.

 

[Bilix]

4 periods a day. Alternate between A-day and B-day. Homeroom was something you go to in the beginning of the school year and then pretty much never again. Barely anytime between classes, so lockers in the building were mainly unused. Good thing you needed less books for the day though.

Was weird to have 50 minute classes in college. Felt like there was barely any time to do anything.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

It was block scheduling. 8 periods total, 4 periods a day, 90 minutes a period. It alternated each day. 7 were actual classes, one was a built-in study hall.

After I moved, I have 8 periods a day, although one doesn't count.

 

[LCGeek]

had block scheduling, we had 4 actual classes but lunch counted as a 5th.

 

[Troubled Bat]

7 periods in Jr. High/Highschool.

I had 5 senior year.

 

[Bilix]

had block scheduling, we had 4 actual classes but lunch counted as a 5th.

Must've been a long lunch! We just had a longer 3rd period and there were 4 different lunch periods within that period that classes would get divided into.
