Though not known why, there are many different reasons this split could have happened, such as, over population, a revolt, disease or drought.

A Day in the Life of a High School Teacher

Unlike elementary teachers, a high school teacher must "face" a new set of students in every period. In my case, that means approximately 150 teens over the six periods.
