yeah thanks according to my daughter it says karptee.

Reason คาบ didn't show up online is we accidentally put an extra letter in which was barely noticeable.

But if you put it in as คาบที่ nothing comes up ?

The more subjects I cant find and neither can the mrs or kids.

1.เเนะเเนว

2. ชุมนุม

3.ยุวกาชาด

Is there a number after คาบที่ ? If so ที่ belongs to the number and make it an ordinal

e.g. karp(2) tee(2) neung(1) The first period

kapr(2) tee(2) song(4) The second period

and so on. ที่ or not, I don't think there is anything else to the meaning than what you've got already, but maybe others on the forum can add to that.

I'm not sure why it doesn't come up in your dictionaries, but if you put it directly into google it'll give you about a million hits or so.

I believe it is referring to "lessons" or perhaps "chapters".

1. เเนะเเนว - direction, guidance

2. ชุมนุม - assembly

3. ยุวกาชาด - the Thai Red Cross Youth movement

yeah both right they are lessons,คาบที่1,คาบที่2,คาบที่3.....

oh and another subject that doesn't come up

4.การงานอาชีพ

Thanks Simon. What exactly is guidance class ?

4.การงานอาชีพ

This subject is like "Occupations and Technology".

It usually includes lessons in agriculture, handicrafts, computer applications, etc., but the lesson material varies from school to school.

1. เเนะเเนว - direction, guidance

I have had difficulty finding an equivalent subject taught in American Schools.

I have read the schoolbook used for this subject and it seems to be a branch of social studies concerned with setting a course or direction in daily life activities.

Those are my own interpretations of these school subjects.
