My renewal class was the afternoon half of an initial class.

I haven't voted because I'm not sure where I stand on this. Ten hours is a long time but I find that I still feel cramped at getting in the info I think we are supposed to teach. I don't have a lot of fluff and stuff and not much time is spent on hypothetical "what-ifs". As a vertern school teacher I understand how to manage a class, not that I always do it well, but I don't let it get out of hand.

My question is what will be required and what will be cut?

I don't necessarily oppose a 4 or 6 hour course (+range) but if I still have to teach the same info in a shorter time then I don't know how I will do it short of speed reading it off of a PowerPoint slide.
