New words and phrases I am coming across in Philly that I did not hear in NoVA.
pass, v. To walk down the hallway or stairs in a school, or to go from the hallway into a classroom. Usually used in the command form. (as opposed to: I really don't remember what teachers say in NoVA. I suppose "go" or "walk to the next stopping point" or something like that.)
prep, n. the period (not lunch) during which the students are not with their regular classroom teacher. (as opposed to: specials, or even simply the name of the class: health, art, music, PE, etc.)
Likewise, prep teacher, n. the teacher who supervises the children during this time. (as opposed to: the actual title of the teacher, ie. art teacher, music teacher.)
