Practice question
A judge accepts a five-hour weekly teaching assignment beginning at 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. The judge says the schedule is proper because the total is below ten hours and the school has approved it. No exception is claimed. Which is the sound answer?
- The total-hour limit is the only condition
- School approval displaces the judicial teaching guidelines
- The schedule violates the stated weekday starting-time restriction despite being below the weekly ceiling
- The schedule is proper if students prefer it
- The schedule becomes permissible automatically if the judge uses a different classroom
