Educational system in the U.S.
Hi,
The writing below is from a book.
Miss Samson was taking names as our assembled teachers raised their hands, saying, "I've got one in my homeroom," and "'There are two in my fourth-period math class."
I don't know much about the educational system in the US elementary school, but I was assuming it is similar to ours, where a homeroom teacher teaches every subject, no specialized teachers for math or geography. But the sentence above tells me I was wrong.
Will you describe a bit about who teaches what in the U.S.?
Thank you,
M

In my experience, every teacher in the school is assigned a home room for the first, shortened, period of the day. For the rest of the class periods in the day, they teach their own subjects. ) are teachers unspecialized, I think.

Only in the very smallest schools (I went to a 3-room school housing 6 grades, where the teacher taught everything, two grades at once!) are teachers unspecialized, I think.
