[LM_NET] HIT: How many classes?

[Lisa Hunt <lisa3moon@YAHOO.COM>]

As I collected data for my own program this year I was curious about how a flexible 
schedule like mine would measure when compared with other flex programs as well as 
that dreaded fixed schedule.
 
Thanks to everyone who responded.  I got lots of additional information and the 
responses came from East to West coast in the US as well as Venezuela.  The average 
of classes taught was 26.6 per week.  I heard from full-time and half-time LMS as 
well as those who work between schools.  I heard from public, private and 
international schools.
 
The most interesting thing to me was that some flexible programs teach as many as 
this average number, and some fixed schedules teach fewer than this average 
number.  Thanks to Carol Simpson for reminding me about those wonderful LMC 
surveys, and the link to a 2007 survey about similar data related to my question 
here.

This was completely informal as a survey, but I have answered some of my own 
personal questions.   
 
I hope all respondents will accept this group "thanks" because I received more than 
50 responses.
