<p>“She sounds like she would qualify if she is in a public school. But 140 students doesn’t Tsound like the size of a Texas public school…”</p>
<p>Texas does indeed have a lot of truly huge high schools. But many more are average size 3A schools like my daughter’s, with about 400-600 total students. </p>
<p>My wife teaches science at a nearby 1A school with fewer than 100 total students in the high school. All 12 grades are on the same campus, and she’s the entire high school science department (biology, chemistry, earth science) and she teaches Geometry too! to 9-11th graders. How’s that for a teaching load? I’m still not sure how she does it.</p>
