I found that aliasing the count can make it a bit more legible.
select count(*) as num_classes, teacher_id, teachers.first_name, teachers.last_name
from teachers
join classes on classes.teacher_id = teachers.id
group by teacher_id having num_classes = 7
order by num_classes desc;
Is there a way to find out the max(num_classes)? besides order by and looking at the results? Then aliasing max instead of having to hard code the number 7 in the query?

Treehouse TeacherSure!
WITH NUM_CLASSES_COUNT AS (
select count(*) as num_classes, teacher_id, teachers.first_name, teachers.last_name
from teachers
join classes on classes.teacher_id = teachers.id
group by teacher_id
order by num_classes desc
)
SELECT * FROM NUM_CLASSES_COUNT
WHERE NUM_CLASSES = (
SELECT MAX(NUM_CLASSES)
FROM NUM_CLASSES_COUNT
)

SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME FROM TEACHERS JOIN CLASSES ON CLASSES.TEACHER_ID = TEACHERS.ID WHERE PERIOD_ID IN (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) GROUP BY TEACHERS.ID;

4,002 PointsThis is the way I managed to do:
SELECT T.FIRST_NAME || ' ' || T.LAST_NAME AS FULL_NAME, COUNT(C.PERIOD_ID) AS CLASSES
FROM CLASSES AS C
INNER JOIN TEACHERS AS T ON T.ID = C.TEACHER_ID
GROUP BY T.FIRST_NAME
HAVING CLASSES = 7
ORDER BY FULL_NAME ASC
