CONTEST TIME!

For my first Freaktacular contest this year, I start with a guessing game.

As many of you know, I am a high school teacher. I figured I'd center a random question on that little tid-bit.

I have 5 classes total, and have three different subjects that I teach:

2 classes of AP Biology
2 classes of Human Anatomy and Physiology
1 class of standard level biology

My question is this:

How many total students do I teach in one day between those five classes?

I will count any answer that is within 10% in either direction of the actual student total as correct.
All correct answers will be put into a random drawing, and the winning selection will get their choice of one of the following prizes:


Prize Choice A (a selection of mystery mini figures)

or

Prize Choice B (Kylo Ren's Shuttle Metal Works Model
View attachment 296002

Rules:
1. This contest is open to any member who wants to participate in Freaktacular this year, and whose address will not cost me an arm and a leg in shipping (Sorry, this one will only be for those with US shipping addresses, but I am trying to think of a way to do a contest that can include our non-US Freaks).
2. Only one entry per participant.
3. Entries must be submitted as a post in this thread.
4. This contest ends 24 hours after the time/date stamp that this post gets when I submit it (the time stamp at the upper left hand corner of the post will be our starting point).
5. There isn't really a 5th rule, I just like multiples of 5 so put this in as a place holder.

24 hours from now I'll post a list of all who were in the range for my student count, and then do the random drawing.

Have Fun Freaks!

75, with AP I'll be a pessimist here.

140, and I think I'm a bit on the conservative side.

Not entering but Imma guess 101

Re: Freaktacular 2016

According to Wikipedia it's almost 69K

If you wanted to go deeper, the County School District that serves Franklin has 45 schools and about 31,000 students

Re: Freaktacular 2016

so average 700 per school.

I'm sticking with my guess, but I think I may have overshot.

Re: Freaktacular 2016

Ah, some are doing their homework. I like it.

Remember, the system is made up of elementary, middle, and high schools. High schools are often larger than the elementary and middle schools.

Oh, and my school is one of the smaller ones in the county.

Carry on.

Hey, you're giving hints after we've guessed.
It's all good. Still fun!

Re: Freaktacular 2016

I figured 25 / class with a few less in the AP.

Ah, but does the information I gave necessarily impact the answer?

Could be a distractor...

I took AP Biology and AP Physics in high school. The most fun classes I had. My favorite subject was Lunchtime.

I really like my Anatomy/Physiology classes, but my heart is with the AP Bio classes. I really love being able to talk about the subject with students who are really invested in the class.

Same here. I can talk about human anatomy and physiology all day. I'm intrigued by how the body functions. It's the best invention.
